Handmade Ronghua Red Peony Hair Comb
Product Description
This red peony hair comb showcases ronghua, an ancient Chinese silk art once beloved in imperial courts. A blooming peony rises gracefully from a curved golden metal comb, creating the poetic effect of flowers blossoming directly from your hair.
The Peony
The flower unfolds in delicate gradient tones—soft pink deepening into rich rose red. Each petal curls naturally at the edges, capturing the lush, full beauty that has made the peony a symbol of prosperity and elegance in Chinese culture for centuries.
A Touch of the Unexpected
Nestled among the petals, a pale blue accent petal dusted with gold flecks adds an unexpected twist. This small detail breaks the warmth of the reds with a cool, dreamy contrast—making the piece feel both classical and modern.
Golden Comb Base
The half-arc golden metal comb is designed to slide securely into updos, buns, or half-up styles. The curve follows the shape of your head naturally, keeping the ornament stable while letting the peony float above your hair.
Ronghua Heritage
In ancient China, ronghua flowers adorned the hair of empresses and court ladies. Each petal is formed by hand—silk threads wound around copper wire, shaped with nothing but fingertips and patience. This comb carries forward that centuries-old tradition.
