Embroidered Grass Snake Pin

Although most people react with fear and disgust to snakes, the beauty of their patterns and graphically curved bodies is undeniable.  There is a virtually endless list of symbols for snakes in human culture, from power and evil, to rebirth and happiness. 

Inspired by the beauty and complexity of nature, sisters Dhruti and Seema started Trovelore, an atelier that creates art and jewelry meticulously embroidered with beads and threads.  Using skilled artisans, and following fair-trade practices, they build up organic textures that give their brooch-pins a ‘lifelike’ quality.
