Item details

This Sterling Silver Scorpion Ornament is modelled on the European Yellow-Tailed Scorpion, Euscorpius Flavicaudis, which has been in residence in the UK since the 19th century. They are thought to have arrived on boats from Italy, they can be found hiding in many dockyards of the UK, have been first seen in Sheerness in the 1860s.

I have long wanted to model a scorpion: what makes them scary to some, makes them irresistable to others - me included. I love watching different people's different reactions to my creations - and this little chap invokes some strong responses. Thankfully most people pick him up and say how splendid he is. What will you do?

Whenever I get inspired to create another piece it's often because the animal I am drawn to is really rather marvellous - perhaps it's their dramatic personality, or that they are structurally interesting - often both.

Well scorpions have these features in spades. They also glow in the dark, can live for up to a year without food and they are virtually indestructible.

And how wonderful to find that we have our own wild colony of yellow-tailed scorpions, nicknamed the Sheerness Scorpion, (on which this piece is based) here in Kent!
