Dragonfly Brooches
The dragonfly is an insect which has two pairs of large transparent wings with a long thin body. They are often confused with damselflies, but the latter close their wings back to the body when at rest, unlike the dragonfly which leaves theirs spread out.
Dragonfly jewellery is very popular in this country, especially dragonfly brooches. To many of us the dragonfly epitomises the typical English summer of our imagination. Sultry summer days, sitting by a lake or garden pond, and dragonflies darting here and there, unwilling to settle so we often cannot appreciate the beauty of their gossamer wings and the fabulous colours of green, blue, orange, or whatever it may be.
The Little Things In Life have a small selection of dragonfly brooches which would look eye-catching on the lapel of any jacket. These brooches come in shades of brown and gold and green/blue and silver and show the beautiful insect with its four wings outspread and its long thin body tapering to the bottom and its two large eyes represented at the top.
