Dragonfly Embellished Horn Charm

Dragonfly Embellished Horn Charm Designed by Nicola Bathie McLaughlin x AKOLA

The dragonfly has long been a symbol of transformation, and this charm wears that meaning well. Hand-carved from up-cycled Ankole cow horn and embellished with fine detail, it strikes a balance between nature-inspired form and refined craftsmanship. The wings have a delicate presence, while the horn gives it an earthy weight that keeps it grounded.

Skilled artisans in rural Uganda shape each piece by hand, bringing precision to every carved edge and embellished surface. Because no two pieces of horn are identical, the color and patterning shift from charm to charm — which is part of what makes this one worth owning.

Wear it as a standalone piece or add it to a charm chain alongside other shapes from the collection. Available on its own or on a 24" paperclip chain.
