My last (more recent, lol!) buy...
Unsigned and unmarked, but in Thomas L Mott spirit, this critter is rather big!
Wingspan is 6 cm.
Diagonal is 8 cm.
Some moisture damage to the wings, but colour is still vibrant!
Last pic is how I intend to wear it, on a cheap Chinese freshwater grey pearls very long string.

Wow Pascale, just beautiful!!!
I like how understated the brooch is, despite its size. Maybe it's really a moth......
the are under rated I think!
Wow, what a fantastic dragonfly brooch, Pascale!!! Looks just like the one in your avatar. Beautiful construction, love those wings. Looks good with the pearls, too. :)
What a beauty! Everything is so perfect about it. I actually love the moisture damage on the wings, it gives it additional texture and pattern. Fab!

Martika, Judy, I falled in love with it at first sight! Thank you ladies :-))

Katherine, a joy to see you! Yes dragonflies may become my new totem ;-)) Thank you for your lovely visit my friend!
Bijou, so true, the brown flecks complement the iridescence very well, and I love the aged appearance. Thank you for loving the beast!!!

Hi David! No marks on the C clasp...
British usually don't mark on the closure as French does :-)
Merci de ta visite!
Oh BOY!! My grandma called dragonflies, "sewing needles" that was a popular name for them in the 1800s!!. Now all 12 of my grandkids call them "sewing needles" when we see them at the park--tradition marches on!!
Lois! That name is so convenient for these critters :-)
Thank you for your visit, cute comment and love!
Elisabethan and Wandlessfairy, many thanks for your loves :-D
