Trovelore Embroidered False Eye Beetle Brooch

This Trovelore embroidered false eye beetle brooch is like a little piece of art by Trovelore. As the name suggests, false eye beetle has a set of spots on the back that mimic large eyes. This defensive adaption has evolved because of its advantage in confusing or frightening potential predators.

Trovelore is an embroidery atelier specialising in the use of needlework and mixed materials to craft a line of embellished jewellery.

Delicately embroidered by hand, the precise choice of materials, colours and techniques give a precious life-like quality to the designs.

The Trovelore atelier helps sustain and keep alive hand workmanship. Making Trovelore products is the artisans’ prime source of livelihood and the label is humbled in their contribution to this cause.

Inspired by nature, our whimsical but elegant brooches are exquisitely hand embroidered using artisan skills and illustrative vintage appeal.

Hand embroidered and hand beaded mini-sculptures, perched only a few inches, these timeless mementos are markers in your journey of memories. The precise choice of materials, colours and techniques, create organic textures that give each design a precious ‘lifelike’ quality.
