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!!!

As tu regarde sur la queue de cochon? Pas de marque? No marking in the pin stopper?
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
Thanks for your kind visit and love click, PCC and Vintagelamp :-)
