"I've recently discovered how amazing spiders are (tarantulas in particular), and have been searching for anatomically correct spider jewelry, clothing, etc. to no avail. Most of the stuff out there is designed by people who haven't actually paid attention to what a spider looks like. This pin is gorgeous--I love the colors (blue, copper, and sparkly being my favorite three), and it's stylized but has the correct number of body segments and appendages (if one assumes the spinnerets are tucked under the opisthosoma, the short things in front are the pedipalps, and the "dots" on the front are the chelicerae). I got this one for my birthday (admittedly, I did request it), and bought the purple one for another spider person, who absolutely loves it, too. I've worn almost mine every day since I got it. It's big enough to be noticeable, but not so big as to appear tacky or absurd. And it definitely gets comments. Overall, very cool piece, and instantly one of my favorites. "
