From Palace Headdress to Modern Brooch
In the Qing imperial court, ronghua velvet flowers were worn in the hair — Empress Fucha herself favored them over pearls and jade. The craft returned to the spotlight in the hit drama Story of Yanxi Palace, for which Nanjing artisans handcrafted 19 styles of velvet-flower headdresses modeled on pieces preserved in the Palace Museum. HOMI carries that same palace art into modern life: every flower is still twisted by hand from pure mulberry silk, only now it is finished as a brooch — made to be worn on a lapel, a knit, or a scarf, every day.
The same craft, a new everyday ritual.
Intangible Cultural Heritage Craft
Originating from the Tang Dynasty court, Ronghua (meaning "glory and prosperity") is sculpted entirely by hand without molds or synthetic glues, preserving pure heritage craftsmanship.
Nine steps, no molds — every petal is twisted, trimmed, and assembled by hand.
Dyed mulberry silk and gold-tone brass wire, shaped entirely by hand.
Technique: Traditional Chinese Ronghua Silk Twisting (Zero Mold Production)
A Thousand Miles of Rivers and Mountains
Inspired by traditional Chinese blue-and-green landscape paintings, master artisans hand-blend mineral-toned silk filaments to create a poetic color transition that shimmers naturally under varying light. In Eastern philosophy, bamboo represents quiet resilience, nobility, and grace under pressure.
For someone who bears weight with quiet nobility — and never loses their grace — a wish you can pin on.
Effortless High-End Styling
Made for quiet moments — a teacup, a landscape scroll on the table — and for the coat you reach for when you step out.
Fitted with an elongated gold-tone safety pin, making it a showstopping accessory on winter wool coats, tailored blazers, cashmere knitwear, trench coats, or formal shawls.
Bespoke Keepsake Presentation
Open the box, and the leaves are already arranged — silk bamboo leaves, pearls, and gold accents.
For someone about to go far — a traveler, a dreamer, or someone setting out on a long road.
Arrives nestled in a rigid celadon gift box with an authentic artisan certificate of heritage craftsmanship and matching eco-friendly paper tote bag—ideal for milestone anniversaries, birthday gifts, or art collectors — ready to give as it arrives.
