Handmade Ronghua Emerald Green Flower Brooch
Product Description
This emerald green flower brooch is crafted using ronghua, an ancient Chinese silk art with a history spanning centuries. Each petal is shaped by hand from fine mulberry silk threads, creating a velvet-like texture that glows softly under light.
The flower blooms in rich emerald green with subtle gradient tones, reminiscent of precious gemstones. Delicate gold thread traces the edge of each petal, adding a refined shimmer without overwhelming the silk's natural beauty.
Pearl & Golden Stamen Center
At the heart of the flower sits a lustrous freshwater pearl, surrounded by golden stamens. This design blends Eastern classical elegance with modern jewelry sensibility—understated yet unmistakably luxurious.
Velvet Green Leaves
Beneath the bloom, deep green leaves crafted in the same ronghua technique cradle the flower. Gold-threaded veins run through each leaf, unifying the composition and elevating the overall craftsmanship.
A secure metal pin back allows you to wear this piece on coat lapels, blazers, scarves, hats, or bags.
The Art of Ronghua
Born in imperial China, ronghua was once worn by palace ladies and nobility. Every element—petal, leaf, stamen—is formed by winding silk around copper wire and shaping it with fingertips alone. This brooch carries that same heritage, made entirely without molds or machinery.
