Tiffany and the Dragonfly

Tiffany Studios made a famous Dragonfly lamp about 1910. Clara Driscoll designed it.

Tiffany had seen a Japanese woodblock print of dragonflies. The insect was a popular motif that stood for courage, victory and strength.

Opalescent Color

Tiffany opened his own glass factory and worked with chemists. The result was opalescent glass with many colors in one sheet.

Enamel dragonfly brooch designs echo that shimmer in a small space.

Wearing and Display

Pin the blue green dragonfly pin to a jacket, a scarf or a hat. It also suits a bag strap. Wipe with a soft cloth.

An Art Nouveau dragonfly pin looks best on solid colors. See more in our Museum Jewelry Pins and Brooches.

About Art Nouveau

Art Nouveau flourished around 1900 and drew on nature. Dragonflies, flowers and vines filled its designs. This blue green dragonfly pin is a bright example. A Tiffany dragonfly brooch like this is a graceful nod to the age.
