This dragonfly pin is absolutely gorgeous. The body of the dragonfly has a large oval faceted green rhinestone and his head has round pavéd stones. His pretty tail has a multi-section look, each section having one green and one opaque clear rhinestone. The pretty wings are spectacular, accentuated with two sizes of red navettes, red ovals,light purple navettes, deep yellow square rhinestones and a pretty bright green round rhinestone. there are also small topaz color, green and purple stones. The top of each wing is further enhanced with  rows of clear opaque and green stones. The gold tones findings are also fabulous, just look at his cute feet and antennas, so much detail. This is definitely one of the prettiest dragonflies I have seen.  We had to consult with our friends in Jewel Collect, a great online group of collectors, sellers, and authors to date this little guy. The probable time of manufacture was in the early 1950's. This conclusion is based on the construction and materials used. The striated back is the most determining factor. He is a relatively large piece, measuring 3 1/2 inches wide and 3 inches long. Condition is near mint. If you have considered adding a dragonfly to your collection, this one is it. You won't find very many this pretty. Just google "vintage dragonfly brooch" and you will see! $345
