Make a bold impression with this embroidered hummingbird brooch, crafted entirely by hand using couture embellishment techniques. This piece captures a hummingbird mid-flight — its silk wings lifted, its tail fanned — stitched in rich peach, violet, and iridescent tones. A sculptural accessory that blurs the line between fashion and textile art.
The brooch is built from hand-dyed silk, velvet, and cotton, layered to create depth and movement. Sequins and vintage beads are stitched individually, giving the surface a soft shimmer and tactile complexity. Though large in scale, the brooch remains lightweight and wearable — ideal for structured garments, coats, or simple dresses where it can take centre stage.

Why It’s Special:
This brooch is stitched to be seen. With carefully layered fabrics and embellishment work that adds both texture and dimension, it's designed to stand apart from factory-made or mass-produced accessories. The silk was hand-dyed and shaped to create fluid, dynamic wings, while every sequin and vintage bead was stitched one by one to build depth and light reflection. The placement of embellishment wasn’t fixed in advance — it was adjusted by eye throughout the process to create visual balance and movement, making this piece truly one of a kind.
Who It’s For:
This piece is for those who wear accessories with intention. Whether you collect textile art or love bold, design-led jewellery, this brooch works best when styled as a focal point — on a tailored blazer, an elegant black dress, or even layered into an exhibition or shoot look. Ideal for fashion-forward individuals who appreciate rarity, skill, and detail that can’t be replicated.
