Trovelore Melting Snail Brooch Pin – A Whimsical Ode to Slow Magic

“Not all who wander are lost—some simply melt into the journey, leaving trails of glittering thread behind.”

The Melting Snail Brooch Pin (5cm x 4.5cm / 2” x 1.8”) is a playful paradox—a creature caught mid-spill, its whorled shell glimmering in earthy browns and regal purples, while its “melting” body defies gravity in cotton and felt. Handcrafted by Indian artisans, this wearable art piece reimagines nature’s pace as a celebration of intentional living.

Artisan Craftsmanship:

• Hypnotic Design: A spiraled shell embroidered with sequins and metallic threads, resting atop a “melting” felt body
• Tactile Texture: Seed beads mimic dewdrops on the snail’s trail, delicate stitching evokes liquid motion
• Convertible Whimsy: Add a bail adapter (sold separately) to wear as a pendant
• Ethical Creation: Small-batch production supporting traditional Indian embroidery
• Heirloom Quality: 12-15 hours of meticulous handwork per piece

Why This Snail Charms:

• Symbol of Mindfulness: Embodies the beauty of moving at your own pace
• Museum-Worthy Whimsy: A conversation-starting piece for free spirits and nature lovers
• Jennifer’s Favorite: The Periwinkle Shoppe founder’s go-to accessory for sparking joy
• Versatile Art: Adorn jackets, hats, handbags, or display as framed curios

Styling Your Melting Muse:

1. Bohemian Dreamer: Pin to linen tunics or crochet vests
2. Festival Alchemy: Nestle in braided hair or fringe bag straps
3. Neckline Poetry: Convert to a pendant for ethereal layering
4. Home Altar Accent: Display beside succulents or poetry collections

The Handmade Imperative

Each snail melts uniquely:

• Slight asymmetry in shell spirals
• Varied sequin placements like scattered stardust
• Organic color shifts in purple-to-brown gradients
  These “imperfections” are love letters from artisan hands—proof of creation by heart, not machine.

Limited Edition Slowcraft

Crafted in small batches to honor ethical production. Once these snails glide away, their replication is as unlikely as catching a real mollusk mid-melt.

From the Founders’ Vision:

“Our Melting Snail is for those who reject the race—who find power in pause and beauty in the ‘unfinished.’ Carry it as a reminder: life’s magic often lies in the spill.”
– Dhruti & Seema, Trovelore Co-Founders

Includes:

• Sturdy metal pin with felt backing
• Embossed gift box for storytelling gifting
• Card detailing the snail’s symbolic journey

Care Instructions:

• Gentle surface cleaning with a soft brush
• Store flat to preserve whimsical contours
• Avoid moisture to protect delicate embroidery

Size: 2” x 1.8” (5cm x 4.5cm) – a pocket-sized manifesto for slow living

Final Note:
This brooch is not jewelry—it’s a rebellion. Against haste. For grace. For those who dare to melt into moments, knowing their trail is art.

Wear as a pendant/necklace, optional bail adapter sold separately.
