Close**PREORDER FOR DECEMBER 2026** Arrives before Christmas!
Not every brooch needs to be bold to be memorable. Some just need to be irresistibly charming.
The Waddling Duck is Trovelore's tribute to one of the most endearing farmyard creatures, its fluffy white feathers built entirely by hand from textured cotton and felt in a women-run embroidery studio in India. The soft, raised stitching gives the body real dimension, mimicking the downy look of actual feathers, while the golden-orange beak and webbed feet are finished in fine embroidery detail sharp enough to capture the duck's cheerful, slightly comical stance. It's a small piece, just 1.7 inches long, but every bit as detailed as Trovelore's larger designs.
That level of care in such a compact form is exactly what museum curators and collectors point to when they call Trovelore pieces miniature works of art rather than costume jewelry. Because every brooch is produced in small artisan batches, no two Waddling Ducks ever turn out exactly alike, gentle variation in feather texture, shape, and color that reflect the human hands behind it rather than a flaw. A piece this charming tends to become a quiet favorite, worn for years and eventually passed down to someone who appreciates a bit of whimsy in their jewelry box.
At The Periwinkle Shoppe, we carry a curated selection of Trovelore brooches, and the Waddling Duck is a favorite for anyone who loves farmhouse charm or a playful, storybook accessory. It's currently available for preorder, arriving in December, in time for the holidays.

Frequently Asked Questions:
Is the Trovelore Waddling Duck brooch handmade?
Yes. It is hand embroidered in a women-run studio in India using cotton, felt, and metallic thread, and produced in small artisan batches, so every piece is slightly one of a kind.
