Dragonfly Pin Pendant Brooch Rubie Emeralds Diamonds Gold Magazine, 1900

About the Item

Huge Dragonfly Brooch (pin) comprising of fine Emeralds degrading in size from the body to the tail. Five Oval shaped Rubies and Sapphires have decorated the wings with old-cut Diamonds. Marvelous design and execution. Victorian Period Style was primarily focused on elements found within Nature. At this time, various artists and design firms would study drawings, and observe different nature scenes and environments by traveling all over the world to obtain new and interesting design inspirations & concepts. Jewelry designers used this inspiration in many different ways from the way they would select colored stones to the type of objects or shapes they would choose to re-create in the form of jewelry. The pin of the brooch is detachable so the dragonfly becomes a pendant. It was featured in a European fashion magazine. Once it was common to communicate a message via pin or brooch. Nowadays this art is lost, but we can surely start a new tradition. Former Secretary of state Madeleine Albright published a fascinating book “Read My Pins” - a story and celebration of how one woman’s jewelry collection was used to make diplomatic history. This is the perfect item to add to your personal collection and start a new tradition. It can also be proudly worn to grab everybody's attention.
