Beaded embroidered brooches
These nature-inspired handmade beaded brooches are creafted by hand in the form of reptiles and amphibians. The collection brings together five creatures of the natural world, a green flying frog, a caiman lizard, a Nile crocodile, a day gecko and a chameleon, each made from cotton, felt, metal and glass beads. Every artisan brooch is a small work of wearable art for people who love handmade design drawn from the living world, and each one makes a considered gift for a special occasion.
From the gliding frogs of the rainforest canopy to the armoured lizards of tropical rivers, reptiles and amphibians are some of nature's most inventive survivors. These brooches celebrate that diversity in bead and thread, turning scientific wonder into something you can wear and share.
Every piece is handmade by skilled artisans working in a small creative studio in India, produced in small batches to order. Buying one supports the livelihoods of these makers and the craft traditions they carry. Because each brooch is embroidered and 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.
Chosen and shared through the Australian Museum Shop, these brooches connect everyday wonder with real-world craft. Pin one to a coat, jacket or bag for a piece of natural history that travels with you. For anyone who values original design, ethical making and the beauty of the natural world, this collection is a quiet celebration of nature and human skill together.
