Little Dragonfly Sterling Silver Shawl Pin, Sweater Brooch Handmade in Oregon by Nicholas and Felice

Description

We hammered and swirled 16 gauge sterling silver wire to make this little lovely dragonfly shawl pin.

The dragonfly measures about 1 5/8 – 2 1/8 ” long and about 1 5/8 – 2 1/8″ across the widest part of the wings. The stick pin part with the spiral on top that slips through the dragonfly to secure the pin is about 2 1/2 – 2 3/4″ long.

Every item is handmade by us so there are some slight variations in size which is why we give the range of sizes the item will be. If you need it to be an exact size please contact us and we can make sure it is the size you need. It is helpful to pull out a ruler when you read the measurements so that you can get a true sense of size since it’s often hard to tell just from photos.

This is a thin gauge, light and delicate pin and wouldn’t work well to support a heavy shawl. It is part of our “Little “pin series that would work well with light, lacy fingering weight knitting.

We also make a thicker, heavier gauge sterling silver dragonfly pin.

It can be worn as a brooch on a sweater too! This pin would work best on a knit or crocheted open weave type garment and is not intended for tightly woven cloth fabric. You can gently bend the outer edges of the main piece to create a looser or tighter fit with the pin.

The pin in the pictures is a representative pin and not the exact same one that you will receive. We hand make each pin and try hard to make them look the same. There may be some minor differences but the one you will receive will look very similar to the one you see in the pictures.

All our jewelry comes wrapped in colorful tissue paper, in a nice gift box and tied with a bow ready for gift giving.
