Handmade Sealife Brooch | Exquisite Collectible Gift
These ocean-inspired handmade beaded brooches are crafted and embroidered in the form of sealife creatures. The collection dives into the underwater world with numerous designs, from a sea nettle jellyfish and reef manta ray to a day octopus, Pacific sea turtle and painted lobster, each made from cotton, felt, metal thread and glass beads.
Small works of wearable art, each one makes a unique and joyful gift, perfect for people who love handmade designs drawn from the natural world.
Crafted by skilled artisans in a small creative studio in India, produced in small batches to order, each purchase supports their livelihoods and craft. Because they are beaded by hand, slight variation in embroidery, size, shape and colour may appear between pieces. This is not a defect, it is the mark of Made by Hand, and it means your brooch is genuinely one of a kind.
- Coral: Coral reefs are built by tiny animals over thousands of years and shelter a quarter of all marine species.
- Day Octopus: A reef octopus active by day, able to change colour and texture in an instant to blend with its surroundings.
- Lionfish: Striking striped reef fish whose showy fins carry venomous spines.
- Ornate Painted Lobster: A boldly patterned spiny lobster of tropical reefs, lacking the large claws of its cold-water cousins.
- Pacific Sea Turtle: Ancient ocean-going reptiles that have navigated the seas for over 100 million years and migrate vast distances between feeding and nesting grounds.
- Pink Forest Crab: Crabs are armoured crustaceans that scuttle sideways across the sea floor on ten legs.
