Trovelore Great Blue Skimmer Dragonfly Brooch Pin – A Winged Heirloom

“The dragonfly’s flight is a dance of light on water – ephemeral, yet eternal in its beauty.”

The Great Blue Skimmer Dragonfly Brooch Pin (7.3cm/2.8”) is a breathtaking homage to nature’s aerial acrobat, meticulously crafted by Indian artisans into a wearable textile masterpiece. Part of Trovelore’s museum-quality collection, this piece transforms the dragonfly’s iridescent magic into an artful fusion of cotton, felt, and gleaming embellishments.

Artisan Alchemy:

• Anatomical precision: Wingspan rendered in gradient blues, body accented with metallic threads
• Iridescent detailing: Sequins mimic sunlight on wings, seed beads form delicate vein patterns
• Ethical craftsmanship: Made-to-order in small batches by skilled artisans
• Convertible wear: Add a bail (sold separately) to suspend as a pendant
• Heirloom presentation: Housed in an embossed gift box, ready for gifting

Why This Dragonfly Soars Above:

• Symbol of Transformation: Represents adaptability, resilience, and the beauty of change
• Artisan Legacy: Supports female-founded, women-owned ethical production
• Museum-Worthy Craft: 18-22 hours of hand embroidery per piece
• Dual Purpose: Display as framed art or wear as a conversation-starting accessory

Styling Your Winged Muse:

1. Nature Curator: Pin to linen blazers or safari-style vests
2. Bohemian Elegance: Adorn wide-brim hats or silk scarf knots
3. Neckline Magic: Convert to necklace for garden party sophistication
4. Unexpected Edge: Secure to leather journals or velvet handbags

The Handmade Imperative
Each dragonfly bears intentional variations:

• Unique wing veining patterns
• Slightly asymmetrical bead placement
• Subtle color gradations in threads
  These “flaws” are the artisans’ signatures – proof of human hands over machine perfection.

Limited Flight Pattern
Produced in batches of 10-15 pieces to honor slow fashion principles. Once these dragonflies take flight, their exact replica may never be seen again.

From the Founders’ Studio:
“Our dragonflies carry the breath of Delhi monsoons and Arizona sunsets. Each stitch is a meditation – we hope you feel the devotion in every bead.”
– Dhruti & Seema, Trovelore Co-Founders
