Some brooches whisper. This one is closer to a small burst of color.
The Colibri Hummingbird is Trovelore's larger, jewel-toned tribute to the hummingbirds of the Americas, its iridescent plumage built entirely by hand from cotton, felt, metallic thread, and sequins in a women-run embroidery studio in India. At 2.8 by 2.2 inches, it's a bigger canvas than some of Trovelore's other bird designs, giving the artisans room to layer seed-beaded eyes and embroidered floral accents alongside the prismatic thread work. More than 20 hours of hand embroidery go into a single piece, the kind of time investment that turns a brooch into a small textile artwork rather than an accessory, exactly what museum curators and collectors mean when they describe Trovelore pieces as wearable art rather than costume jewelry.
The hummingbird itself carries real symbolism, long associated with vitality, joy, and resilience, the pursuit of savoring life's fleeting sweetness rather than letting it pass unnoticed. That meaning is part of what makes a piece like this worth keeping. Because every brooch is produced in small artisan batches, no two Colibri Hummingbirds ever turn out exactly alike, subtle variation in sequin gradient, wing embroidery, and bead placement that reflect the artisan's hand rather than a flaw. A piece this detailed tends to be worn for years and eventually passed down, carrying its color and symbolism forward.
At The Periwinkle Shoppe, we carry a curated selection of Trovelore brooches, and the Colibri Hummingbird is a favorite for anyone who wants a bolder, more jewel-toned piece for their collection. It's currently available for preorder, arriving early December, in time for the holidays. It arrives in an embossed gift box along with a story card exploring the Colibri's cultural symbolism.
