Magnetic Copper-Tone Dragonfly Brooch in Silver-Coloured Steel

A copper-tone dragonfly brooch with softly coloured wings

The Magnetic Copper-Tone Dragonfly Brooch in Silver-Coloured Steel has a highly stylised shape with four widely spread wings and a long abdomen. Its exact width is 8 cm, a measurement we took directly from the piece. This visible format needs sufficient room on a coat, blazer, shawl or a flat section of a textile bag.

Compare the eight centimetres with the intended area before choosing a position. The wing tips and curved abdomen should remain clear of fastenings and edges. Other forms can be explored among our dragonfly brooches.

Preparing an area for its width

• Measure the flat section available on the intended support.
• Avoid a thick seam or a sharply curved area.
• Check the orientation after putting the garment on.

Four copper, cream and pale pink wings

The dragonfly is made from silver-coloured steel. Its four opaque wings are divided into copper, cream and pale pink areas, separated and outlined by silver-coloured lines. Two small round black details sit on the head. The copper-brown body continues into a segmented abdomen that curves to the right and ends in a silver-coloured tip. Seen up close, the silver-coloured lines frame each coloured area and give the wings their rhythm; enamel, crystal, transparency or anatomical realism are not claimed.

Pair the copper shades with neutral or contrasting colours

Copper, cream and pale pink form a warm palette softened by the silver-coloured structure. The following combinations are suggestions to assess in front of a mirror, not a promise that the brooch will have the same effect with every material or colour.

Three combinations to try

• Camel or brown continues the copper areas.
• Cream or ecru sets off the copper-brown body.
• Navy or black creates a more pronounced contrast.

Other stylised motifs are grouped with our insect brooches.

How the copper dragonfly holds without a pin

A round magnet is fixed behind the dragonfly, while a broad, round, perforated magnetic plate sits on the other side of the support. We proved our powerful magnets on several materials, including wool and 5 mm faux leather. A seam, fold, several layers, curve or movement can alter the local hold. Always check the fastening at the precise point before going out.

Putting on and removing the dragonfly

• Place the separate plate behind the material and offer up the dragonfly in front.
• Test stability with a few gentle movements.
• To remove it, hold both parts and slide them sideways apart.

The same principle is used by our magnetic brooches. Keep the magnetic parts away from bank cards, watches and devices that are sensitive to magnetic fields.

Features of the copper-tone dragonfly brooch

Wipe the steel with a soft, dry cloth without an abrasive product. Avoid direct contact with water, perfume and household cleaners. Store the brooch in a dry place and handle the magnetic parts in a controlled manner.

Gifting the copper-tone dragonfly brooch

Every brooch is carefully packed so that it can be given easily. Depending on the person or context, a dragonfly may suggest lightness, change or adaptability. This cultural reading remains personal: the brooch carries no power, omen or emotional effect.

It may interest someone who appreciates stylised insects, graphic accessories or copper shades. Keep it in its packaging until it is time to give it and pass on the advice to test the magnets at the intended point.
