Hand Embroidered Swallowtail Butterfly Brooch Pin

Swallowtails are the ones that stop a conversation mid-sentence — big, unhurried, drifting through a garden as though they know exactly how long you'll watch — and this one carries that same slow elegance in overlapping purple sequins, deep blue lower wings, and two small orange eyespots set just above the tails.

Trovelore's artisans build the piece entirely by hand, laying sequins in overlapping rows so the wings shift between violet and indigo as the light moves, edging each wing in black, dotting the borders with tiny white beads, and finishing the trailing tails and antennae in fine beaded wire.

At approximately 2.25 inches long and 2.5 inches wide, it pins beautifully to a lapel, a summer dress, or a silk scarf and arrives in its own gift box — a piece that belongs to the garden and looks entirely at home away from it.
