The Dragonfly has been one of my most loved creatures for many years. I was told they
mean new beginnings something which I think is an important message to embody as we live in a constantly changing world.
Dragonflies are the strongest flyers in the insect world. I am totally captivated by their
wings, how something so delicate, almost opaque in texture can be so powerful. I have not expanded on this design for some time until I was I was sitting by a pond in Mallorca earlier this year and two dragonflies wings became entangled right beside me.
It was impossible not to notice their unique beauty and I took this as a sign to focus on the wing alone and capture its true beauty. It was a much bigger dragonfly then I had ever seen before and I loved the idea of designing a new proportion of size.
The wing pendant is designed to be worn on a longer chain and perfect to layer with shorter more delicate pieces. It has 114 tiny white diamonds just over half a carat 0.57ct all set by hand. The front of the wing was inspired by the delicacy of the dragonfly. The back of the wing pendant is smooth 14k gold which curves around the diamond setting representing the strength of this wonderfully powerful little creature.
