Art Nouveau "Dragonfly in Flight" Sculptural Brooch

A jewel that seems to have been frozen in time. This Art Nouveau brooch is an ode to the naturalism of the turn of the century, where the dragonfly figure is crafted like a small wearable sculpture.

The contrast between the matte finish of the chased wings and the shimmer of the body creates a fascinating play of light. Its design, which eschews rigidity, shows the insect in a dynamic position, with its wings slightly curved as if it had just landed.
