White gold dragonfly brooch set with 396 diamonds totaling approximately 8.50 carats Mimi.
The triumphant popularity of dragonflies in the world of jewelry began in the Victorian era. Then massive lush decorations depicting dragonflies were made of pure gold and large precious stones. They looked luxurious and massive. The artists tried to get as close to nature as possible and make precious insects very alive and realistic. Fantasy was not welcome – only a clear adherence to nature!
Fundamentally, the approach to depicting dragonflies in jewelry changed a little later – at the beginning of the 20th century, in the graceful era of Art Nouveau. At that time, all the representatives of flora and fauna that were used in jewelry art were not important in themselves – their symbolism came to the fore, those deep meanings and images that they carried.
Dragonfly brooch adorned with rubies and diamonds.
Recognized modern jewelers – Rene Lalique, Georges Fouquet, Alphonse Mucha and others were not afraid to swim against the current and use non-standard techniques and materials in their products. The jewelry revolution that they started did not mean a complete rejection of sparkling diamonds and rubies, but they also legitimized “minor” materials in jewelry – for example, horn, bone, glass. However, the most fully refined aesthetics of Art Nouveau was expressed with the help of stained glass enamel.
