300 million years, and dragonflies are still going strong: ancient, resilient, and full of wonder. They weave through our hot Southern summer days like threads connecting our oldest stories to our newest.

Some bring good memories.

Some bring a spark of awe.

Some even feel like a visit from someone we love.

We hope this piece carries whatever meaning the dragonfly holds for you, and keeps a little of that magic close.

 

This pendant measures approximately 3/4" in diameter.

Made by hand in our South Louisiana studio.
Each piece varies slightly due to its handmade nature.

Bronze first: Our bronze is a solid copper + tin alloy, lead free. Copper can react with the natural acids, sweat, and moisture in your skin. Some people may see a harmless green or blue mark. Others never do. It can even vary day to day based on humidity, activity, or hydration. This is normal and not a quality issue.

Tarnish & patina: Bronze darkens over time, just like sterling silver. That "dirty" look is natural oxidation (patina), not damage. A quick polish brings back a warm glow similar to 14k gold at a fraction of the cost. The trade off is a bit of maintenance.

Quick prevention tips:

• Remove before washing hands, swimming, showering, or heavy sweating.

• Dry well after wear.

• Apply a thin coat of clear nail polish or jewelry wax to the inside that touches skin if you are sensitive.

• Polish as needed with a treated jewelry cloth or gentle metal polish.
