A handcrafted mushroom hair pin made from copper, pewter, brown agate and steel. The sculptural composition combines a large round agate element with a smaller stone bead, several mushrooms on long curved stems, delicate spirals and organic botanical details.
The warm orange-brown agate creates a vivid focal point within the silver-tone composition. The mushrooms and slender stems spread outward above the two-prong hair pin, forming a small forest-inspired sculpture for the hair.
The hair pin is designed as a functional wearable botanical object, somewhere between an accessory, a natural memory and a personal symbol. Each element is shaped and finished by hand in my family workshop on the Baltic coast of Poland.
The design begins with impressions of delicate mushrooms, curling stems and small forms growing together among moss and fallen leaves. I do not reproduce nature literally; I allow these observations to guide the material until a new form appears. The result remains open to imagination and personal interpretation.
I do not usually begin with a finished sketch. The work grows intuitively during the making process — through the dialogue between hands, materials and feeling.

The metal is carefully sanded and polished, then treated with an antioxidant finish to help protect the surface and preserve its silver-tone appearance.
Agate may vary slightly in shade, translucency, pattern and internal details. Depending on the lighting, the stone may appear amber, orange-brown, reddish or deeper in tone.
Because every Yadovito piece is made by hand, small differences in mushroom shapes, stem curves, stone appearance and finish are natural and make each hair pin individual.

About Yadovito
Every form begins with a feeling.
Yadovito is an independent artist studio creating handcrafted nature jewelry and wearable art shaped by personal observations of the natural world. I do not try to reproduce nature exactly. I give form to a feeling — and invite others to find their own story in it.
