Description

Crafted by the time-honored Rongmeiqi atelier of Yangzhou, this hair pin brings the centuries-old art of Ronghua — Chinese velvet flower making — into a refined New-Chinese aesthetic. Each iris petal is shaped from lustrous silk velvet, hand-dyed in a gradient from deep violet to creamy white, echoing the poetic elegance of irises swaying in a Tang Dynasty garden.

The slender ebony-toned pin holds two blossoms alongside delicate grey-green leaves, accented by luminous white pearls and a jade-like lily-of-the-valley pendant. From it cascade three strands of pearl tassels tipped with tiny violet buds — a whisper of movement with every turn. This is not merely an accessory; it is a wearable piece of intangible cultural heritage, where the soul of ancient craftsmanship meets the sensibility of modern design.

Handmade Details

About Materials

Ronghua petals are crafted from silk threads with heat-shrink technique (similar in texture to fine resin). Chan Hua (wrapped flowers) use silk threads or silk velvet threads.

About Color

All photos are taken without filters or beauty effects. Colors may appear slightly different depending on lighting and display settings. The actual piece you receive is the standard — and many look even more beautiful in person!

About Components

Color-retaining copper, color-retaining alloy, stainless steel, and more.

About the Flowers

Every piece is handmade and may show subtle artisan marks. No two pieces are identical — this is the nature of handcraft. Please consider carefully before purchasing if absolute uniformity is expected.

Care & Maintenance

Keep Dry & Oil-Free

Ronghua is delicate — avoid contact with oil and water. Do not press hard when wearing. Never wash with water!

Prevent Crushing & Impact

  1. Store in a cool, dry place away from direct light. Ronghua can be kept on a jewelry stand or inside a jewelry box.
  2. Store each piece separately — do not pile them together, as they can easily lose their shape!
  3. In humid climates (especially during Southern China's damp seasons), the petals of flat-pressed Ronghua may soften as air moisture rises. This is completely normal and will not affect use.

Silk for Soul, Copper for Bone — The Ancient Craft That Brings Velvet Flowers to Life

The Making of Ronghua

— From Silk Thread to Living Flower

Spinning the Soul

Finest silk is selected, boiled, stripped from the cocoon, and drawn into velvety strands as fine as hair. The thickness of each strand determines the texture of every petal — guided solely by the maker's touch, with no mold to follow.

Twisting the Bone 

Brass wire is spiraled together with silk velvet strands — copper for the skeleton, silk velvet for flesh. Twist too loosely and the petals collapse; twist too tightly and they stiffen. Between too loose and too tight lies the craftsman's sense of proportion, honed over decades.

Coloring by Hand

The petal's gradient is not printed — it is hand-dipped. The transition from deep violet to creamy white depends on the maker's fingers controlling how long and at what angle the strand enters the dye. Within the same design, each bloom carries a subtle shift in color — not a flaw, but the breath of handmade craft.

Shaping the Petal

With scissors, the velvet strand is trimmed into the curve of a petal — one cut per petal, each stroke irreversible. How many petals does an iris require? The answer lives in the craftsman's heart, not on any blueprint.

Assembling the Bloom

The trimmed petals are glued and assembled one by one, paired with stamens, leaves, and pearl tassels. A single Ronghua bloom goes from nothing to being through over a dozen steps and hours of handwork — only to blossom at last in your hair.
