A dragonfly pendant, designed by Philippe Wolfers.

Philippe Wolfers (April 16, 1858 - December 13, 1929) was a Belgian silversmith and jeweller. His father, Louis Wolfers, was a jeweller.[1] He resided in La Hulpe, where he designed jewellery in the art nouveau style.[1] One of his vases is exhibited at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City.[2] One of his brooches sold for over £23,000 at a Bonhams auction in 2012.[1]
