Wild Iris Brooch

Designer: Trovelore 
Materials: Hand embroidered cotton, felt, metal, sequins and beads
Origin: Handmade in India

Taking its name from the Greek work for a rainbow, the Iris has been an inspiration for some legendary painters. Leonardo da Vinci, Durer, Renoir, Cezanne, Gauguin, and Claude Monet were all inspired by this beautiful flower, but perhaps the most famous would be the Irises by Van Gogh. The three sectioned symbol Fleur de Lys is an ancient representation of the Iris flower and was a mark of the French Royalty.

Trovelore is a nature-inspired atelier, crafting a line of timeless and treasured jewelry. The precise choice of materials, colors, and techniques create organic textures that give their designs a precious lifelike quality.

Featuring flora and fauna of this wonderful world — its brilliant colors, complex textures, and delicate forms — Trovelore’s designs are a homage to the endless beauty that surrounds us.

Handmade in small batches, their collection is made-to-order by skilled artisans with love and care. They are among the few small ateliers that create nearly everything in a single facility from design to the final product.

Slight variation in embroidery, size, shape and color is part of the handmade craft and may be apparent between pieces; this is not considered a defect but is celebrated as a mark of made by hand.
