“Everlasting botanical beauty, sculpted thread by thread from pure mulberry silk.”
The Iris Narrative
This peach pink handmade velvet flower brooch is masterfully crafted using traditional Chinese Ronghua (velvet flower) techniques—an imperial court craft originating in the Tang Dynasty. Sculpted into the silhouette of an iris, a motif celebrated for representing wisdom and hope, each petal reflects the soft, ambient luster of authentic mulberry silk.
Reimagined for contemporary wardrobe styling, the soft peach hue adds a refined focal point to modern tailoring. The tactile contrast between structural silk velvet and crisp outerwear gives this botanical piece a distinctive, haute-couture presence.
The Metamorphic Craft
Created historically to replace fresh blossoms that withered with changing seasons, Ronghua was developed by court artisans seeking imperishable floral art. Master craftspeople hand-dye pure mulberry silk, wrapping raw threads around fine copper wire to form velvet strands before individually trimming and shaping each petal.
Completing a single iris requires nine precise steps—from raw silk preparation and precision dyeing to wire twisting, hand-shearing, and final structural assembly. The internal copper core allows subtle adjustments to petal placement while maintaining structural integrity.
