Within certain cultures dragonflies symbolise change and transformation, and during the Art Nouveau period they were very popular due to them embodying many of the themes that the Art Nouveau style evoked: nature; sensuality; metamorphosis from one physical form to another. As well, the way they flit across ponds and jump from patches of sunlight inspires a kind of self-reflection and deeper thinking. While dragonflies are beautiful, they can also bite, which is why they are also seen as symbols of growth and determination.
In addition to this, the dragonfly only flies for a tiny portion of its lifespan, so a piece of dragonfly jewellery can embody living in the moment and living life to the full.
