    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.

      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!

      Phil and Enameled_Beetle, thanks for your beautiful comment and love!

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

      Karen, it is both stylized and full of movement, looking like a giant may fly! Thank you for your love, visit and appreciation! :-)

      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!!!

      Many thanks for your loves, Sean, Aura, Vetraio, Alan, Caperkid, Paul and Ho2cultcha !

      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!!
