SUPREME Court President Lady Hale has been making waves on social media with her eccentric brooch choice for this morning's announcement.
It was pointed out that the judge often picks distinctive jewellery - in the shape of flowers, butterflies and centipedes just to name a few - and today's selection was a fetching sparkly spider.

After Lady Hale announced that the Government had acted unlawfully in suspending Parliament, social media users were quick to praise her ruling, career in general and of course the glittery spider brooch.
But there's a way to get the Lady Hale look without presumbly shelling out Supreme Court Judge money on such a luxury.
A Lady Hale spider brooch T-shirt has been put up for sale on eBay, with 30% of the profits going to homelessness charity Shelter.
The shirt has been bought more than 1600 times since this morning, and has been viewed nearly 10,000 times.
The simple black T-shirt features a print of a sparkling spider in the same placement as the judge's.
And for just £10, you can replicate Lady Hale's striking style without needing to first replicate her salary. Result!

Why are you making commenting on The National only available to subscribers?
We know there are thousands of National readers who want to debate, argue and go back and forth in the comments section of our stories. We’ve got the most informed readers in Scotland, asking each other the big questions about the future of our country.
Unfortunately, though, these important debates are being spoiled by a vocal minority of trolls who aren’t really interested in the issues, try to derail the conversations, register under fake names, and post vile abuse.
So that’s why we’ve decided to make the ability to comment only available to our paying subscribers. That way, all the trolls who post abuse on our website will have to pay if they want to join the debate – and risk a permanent ban from the account that they subscribe with.
The conversation will go back to what it should be about – people who care passionately about the issues, but disagree constructively on what we should do about them. Let’s get that debate started!
