Meet the Ronghua brooch — a centuries-old Chinese craft, reimagined for the modern wardrobe. Each flower is handcrafted from mulberry silk and copper wire, and no two are ever alike.

The craft. This is a handmade silk velvet flower (Ronghua) brooch pin, shaped petal by petal from genuine mulberry silk over copper wire, finished with freshwater pearl and crystal accents and a soft silk ribbon. Every piece takes days of patient handwork — no machines, no molds, no shortcuts.

The heritage. Ronghua (velvet flower) is a Chinese intangible cultural heritage craft dating back centuries, traditionally worn on festive and ceremonial occasions. We honor the craft by naming and crediting our artisan on every piece, and by using authentic materials throughout.

How to wear it. Pin it to a bridal gown, evening dress, blazer, or clutch — for weddings, anniversaries, galas, or simply to carry a piece of artistry with you.

Details. Approx. 6 cm / 2.4 in across. Mulberry silk, copper wire, freshwater pearl, crystal. Secure brooch-pin closure. Arrives in an elegant silk-lined gift box, ready to give.

Bespoke. Looking for a custom color palette or a matching set for your wedding party? Message us — custom orders are welcome.

A note on heritage. This design honors Chinese Ronghua craft. We are a small Chinese workshop sharing our heritage with the world — every piece is authentically handmade in China.

Care

Keep the piece dry and out of direct sun. Put perfume and hairspray on before the piece goes in, not after. Store it flat in its box; copper wire keeps its shape, but silk will hold a fold if it is crushed.
