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
Handcrafted using traditional Ronghua techniques, requiring hours of twisting, shearing, and sculpting delicate silk fibers into velvety, lifelike botanical textures.
Nine steps, no molds — every petal is twisted, trimmed, and assembled by hand. Pure mulberry silk and fine copper wire, shaped entirely by hand.
Technique: Traditional Chinese Ronghua Silk Twisting (Zero Mold Production)
Symbol of Longevity & Grace
The ginkgo leaf represents resilience, enduring love, and longevity. The vibrant golden-yellow hue adds a warm, radiant accent to any look.
For someone who has weathered a hard season — and come through it still standing — a wish you can pin on.
Versatile Statement Jewelry
Made for quiet moments — a book, a cup of tea, an autumn afternoon — and for the coat you reach for when you step out.
Complements woolen coats, blazer lapels, evening dresses, scarves, knitwear, or tote bags.
Ready for Gifting
Open the box, and the flower is already arranged — silk leaves, pearls, gold edging.

It comes in a celadon gift box with an artisan certificate of heritage craftsmanship and matching eco-friendly paper tote bag, making it a thoughtful keepsake for birthdays, holidays, Mother's Day, or art collectors — ready to give as it arrives.
