- In stock
A beautiful dragonfly in silver. TROLLSLÄNDA (Dragonfly) necklace is a small and neat piece of jewelry that suits both everyday and festive occasions.
For us it is most associated with lazy summer days on an air mattress as they buzz around in the reeds, or as a colourful feature in late-summer gardens by the water. In any case, it is a common sight in our inner archipelago.
There are several different explanations for where the name TROLLSLÄNDA (Dragonfly) comes from. According to the Swedish Trollsländeföreningen, the most likely is that -slända comes from the spindle tool used when spinning ARN. Its shape is quite similar to a dragonfly’s body.
“Troll” in the name goes far back; the first Swedish written source may be from the 1600s. Dragonflies are then linked to trollpackor (witches). They were thus the witches’ animals; dragonflies.
TROLLSLÄNDA (Dragonfly) necklace is a truly lovely piece of jewellery to put on.
