This is my latest acquisition. It is in the style, again, of the Art Nouveau movement, but it is new. It is by one of the designers in the David Howell company and supports the American Craft Museum. It is solid brass electroplated with silver and then enameled. Apparently the dragonfly was a recurring motif on most of the Art Nouveau craft forms, from porcelain to accessories. I got this at the Fred Jones Museum of Art in Norman.
This nice little pin gives a lovely burst of color to nearly anything, and it has various degrees of luminosity depending on how the light hits it. I particularly like to wear it with clothes that are gray. I have it here on a charcoal belted wool sweater.
