Spiders have been a favourite subject of Victorian and Edwardian jewellery due to their fascination with nature. Spiders, with their web-building skills, were seen as symbols of industry and the profit of talent, fitting with the Victorian era's industrious spirit. In many cultures, spiders are associated with good luck and wealth.
