Trovelore Snowdon Beetle Brooch Pin – A Wearable Ode to Rarity

“To wear this beetle is to cradle a rainbow on the brink of vanishing – a stitch in time for nature’s fragile wonders.”

The Snowdon Beetle Brooch Pin (5cm/2”) immortalizes one of Wales’ most elusive treasures, its iridescent carapace and tropical allure captured in cotton, felt, and glimmering thread. Handcrafted by Indian artisans, this wearable masterpiece is both a celebration of biodiversity and a poignant reminder of what we stand to lose.

Artisan Craftsmanship:

• Rainbow Reverence: Metallic threads and sequins mimic the beetle’s prismatic shell
• Endangered Elegance: Cotton body, felt detailing, and bead-accented antennae
• Ethical Creation: Produced in small batches supporting traditional embroidery arts
• Secure Wear: Sturdy metal clasp with protective felt backing
• Petite Power: 2” size – a subtle yet striking statement

Why This Beetle Captivates:

• Symbol of Survival: Honors conservation efforts for critically endangered species
• Museum-Quality Artistry: 14-18 hours of meticulous hand embroidery per piece
• Conversation Catalyst: Jennifer of The Periwinkle Shoppe receives endless compliments when wearing hers on a Magnolia Pearl jacket
• Dual Purpose: Display in shadowboxes as art or wear as a badge of eco-conscious elegance

Styling Your Rainbow Muse:

1. Bohemian Naturalist: Pin to corduroy blazers or canvas field jackets
2. Unexpected Edge: Adorn leather tote straps or denim collars
3. Gallery Glam: Display framed alongside insect illustrations
4. Festival Free Spirit: Nestle in braided hair or woven belt loops

The Handmade Imperative

Each beetle bears intentional “flaws”:

• Slightly asymmetrical sequin patterns
• Unique thread color gradients
• Varied bead placements like scattered raindrops
  These imperfections are the artisans’ fingerprints – proof of human hands preserving nature’s blueprint.

Vanishing Act

Crafted in small batches to honor ethical production. Once these beetles find homes, their replication is as unlikely as spotting the real Snowdon Beetle in the wild.
