This is a sterling silver dragonfly brooch completely covered in marcasite — the four wings and elongated body all set with the close-packed, faceted grey stones that give marcasite its characteristic dark sparkle. Dragonfly brooches are among the most collectible of vintage insect jewelry forms, and a fully marcasite example in sterling is the best version: the stone's iridescent dark glitter captures exactly the quality of a dragonfly's wing in light.
At 3cm and 3.6 grams it's a compact, well-weighted brooch that pins easily to a lapel, collar, or hat. Hallmarked 925 MD. A beautifully detailed vintage dragonfly brooch ready to wear.
