Owl Brooch with Starry Eyes (2 Colors)

Owls are known as the wise elders and philosophers of the forest. This symbolism stems from their role as messengers to Athena, the Greek goddess of war and wisdom. In Japan too, owls have been cherished as auspicious creatures, their name "fukuro" being cleverly reinterpreted as words like "no hardship" (不苦労), "luck arrives" (福来郎), "prosperous old age" (福老), or "lucky journey" (福路). The owl (or eagle-owl), becoming active in autumn to prepare for winter, is a symbolic bird of the season's arrival. Why not open your ears to the approaching autumn, imagining these wise and philosophical owls engrossed in reading on long autumn nights? Autumn Collection Brooch: "Owl Brooch with Starry Eyes" As the autumn breeze arrives, this owl gazes at the clear sky, its eyes holding the stars. Choose from two shades of deep blue, reminiscent of the night sky. This brooch makes a lovely gift to celebrate a special occasion or to wish good fortune upon a loved one. Size: Approximately 43mm x 26mm (using a 27mm rotating lock pin) [Crafting Method and Features] ★ We create these by hardening elastic and rigid resins over original illustrations. A glossy finish with UV protection is applied, resulting in a lightweight and lustrous brooch. Made from paper and resin, they are light and comfortable to wear, allowing them to be perfectly paired even with thin knits without damaging the fabric or causing them to droop. ★ Equipped with a rotating lock pin to prevent accidental loss. ★ Delivered in a presentation box, ideal for storage or gifting. [Gift Wrapping] To bring a little joy upon opening, all purchased items are sent with simple gift wrapping. For gifts intended for someone special, we offer complimentary wrapping with a temporary seal, allowing the recipient to confirm the contents. Please seal it with the included tape after inspection. If you require multiple gift wrappings, we will include gift bags for protection and to reduce shipping costs. Please let us know. [Care and Handling] Due to the nature of UV resin products, they are sensitive to heat, and prolonged exposure to UV light can cause discoloration. While a UV-cut coating is applied, please avoid storing in direct sunlight and handle with care. The heat resistance of UV resin products is approximately 70-80°C. Exceeding this temperature will cause the material to soften. Even if the ambient temperature is not excessively high, enclosed containers made of metal or plastic can trap heat, leading to high internal temperatures. We recommend storing in the provided paper box in a dark, well-ventilated environment. Also, please be careful not to allow contact with chemicals such as insect repellents during storage. Even without direct contact, vapors or gases emitted from chemicals can cause chemical reactions, so it is advisable not to place them nearby. After use, we recommend cleaning with a soft cloth, such as a glasses cleaning cloth.
