Magnetic Black Beetle Brooch in Silver-Coloured Steel

A black beetle brooch with graphic contrast

The Magnetic Black Beetle Brooch in Silver-Coloured Steel measures exactly 7 x 5 cm; we checked both dimensions directly on the piece. Its broad outline can occupy a jacket lapel, a coat, a stole or a suitable area of a bag. Within our beetle brooches, this design stands apart through its black, dark grey and silver-coloured contrasts.

Allow seven centimetres of clear width

Measure the intended area before settling on a position. The legs and antennae project beyond the central body, so keep them clear of zips, straps and edges. Put the garment on, view the design from a normal distance and check its angle again after moving. On a bag, make sure the reverse of the chosen panel remains accessible.

Pair black with silver-coloured accents

• Black echoes the glossy raised shapes.
• Grey continues the tone of the ridged side panels.
• Ecru provides a pale background for the outline.
• Burgundy introduces a warmer contrast.

The silver-coloured steel structure outlines six legs, two antennae and the central settings. Two long dark grey side panels carry fine ridges and a row of small black faceted details. Several glossy black oval shapes fill the centre and lower section. Seen up close, the ridged panels catch the light differently from the glossy shapes; the decorations are not presented as enamel, crystal or stone.

How the black beetle holds without a pin

The beetle sits on the outside while the wide round perforated plate is positioned on the other side of the material. We tried the powerful magnets of the black beetle on wool and 5 mm faux leather. Always check the precise spot because a seam, fold, extra layer, curve or movement may alter the local grip. Compare other fastening designs among our magnetic brooches.

• Select an accessible area that is as flat as possible.
• Hold the beetle at the front and the plate behind.
• Bring the two parts together gradually and align them.
• Move the material, then assess stability once more.

Keep hold of both parts when removing it

Support the decorative piece with one hand and the plate with the other. Separate them progressively so that neither part drops. Afterwards, keep both components together in a dry storage place.

Features of this black beetle brooch

Silver-coloured describes the bright finish of the steel. The exact dimensions help you plan the available space without assuming an unspecified weight. Other animal outlines can be compared in our collection of insect brooches.

Clean the surfaces and protect the raised details

• Wipe gently with a soft, dry cloth.
• Avoid water, perfume, detergents and abrasive products.
• Store flat without pressure on the legs or antennae.
• Keep the magnet away from cards, watches and sensitive devices.

Handle it by the outer steel structure

When fitting or removing the brooch, hold it by the external steel outline where possible. This reduces repeated contact with the glossy black shapes, ridged panels and rows of small faceted details.

Gifting the black and silver beetle brooch

Each brooch is carefully packed, making it easy to give for a birthday, as a thank-you or to mark a new chapter. Some people culturally associate the scarab with renewal or protection; this remains a personal interpretation rather than a property of the product. It may equally be chosen simply for its graphic insect outline and strong contrasts.
