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 Mastery
Each slender bamboo leaf is painstakingly rolled, sheared, and formed by hand, showcasing a soft, velvety texture with a subtle, luminous silk sheen under light.
Nine steps, no molds — every petal is twisted, trimmed, and assembled by hand.
Pure mulberry silk fibers and pliable craft copper wire, shaped entirely by hand.
Technique: Traditional Chinese Ronghua Silk Twisting (Zero Mold Production)

For someone who carries responsibility quietly, and still stands tall.
Arrives nestled in a celadon gift box with an artisan certificate of heritage craftsmanship and matching eco-friendly paper tote bag, making it an extraordinary gift for anniversaries, birthdays, art enthusiasts, or connoisseurs of handmade crafts — ready to give as it arrives.
