Couldn't load pickup availability

Handmade Mulberry Silk Butterfly Brooch & Hairpin shapes a butterfly from velvet-textured mulberry silk in a soft blue-to-white gradient, with slender wire antennae and trailing leaf-like tendrils. The piece is built over a copper alloy frame and is offered as a brooch with a gold-tone pin bar, a sandalwood hairpin, or a U-shape hairpin. It is made by hand and requires about seven business days to complete, and it works as a lapel, scarf, hat, or hairstyle accent.
Cultural Symbolism & Artistic Design
Velvet flower craft: This piece follows the Chinese velvet-flower (rong hua) technique of wrapping mulberry silk over a copper wire frame, a craft that dates back to the Tang dynasty. In Chinese folk tradition the craft's name is a homophone for a word associated with honor and flourishing, so velvet flowers have long been worn as festival and wedding adornments.
Butterfly: In Feng Shui tradition the butterfly is a motif associated with change and freedom, and it has long appeared as a decorative subject in Chinese wearable art. Here the gradient silk wings carry that motif as the focal point of the design.

Why You'll Love This Piece
- Three wearing formats: Choose the 12cm brooch for lapels and scarves, or the 18-20cm sandalwood or U-shape hairpin for the hair.
- Visible handwork: Each silk petal is wrapped and shaped by hand, so no two pieces carry exactly the same gradient.
- Distinctive silhouette: The long trailing tendrils give the butterfly movement, which reads clearly on both coat and updo.
Care Instructions
Keep the silk petals away from moisture, perfume, hairspray, and harsh chemicals; reshape flattened tendrils gently with dry fingers. Store the piece flat or upright in a dry box so the wings are not crushed, and take it off before sleeping, washing, or vigorous activity.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between the three options?
All three share the same silk butterfly design; only the mounting changes. The brooch is about 12cm with a pin bar for fabric, while the sandalwood hairpin and U-shape hairpin are about 18-20cm and are worn in the hair.
How does the U-shape hairpin stay in place?
A U-shape pin is twisted into a gathered or folded section of hair, where the two prongs grip the hair itself. It suits medium to thick hair; very fine or slippery hair may need an extra bobby pin for hold.
Why is the listed delivery time longer than usual?
The piece is made by hand after your order, and the listing states about 7 business days to complete it before shipping, which is normal for velvet flower work.
Can the silk get wet?
No. Mulberry silk water-stains easily, so remove the piece before washing, rain exposure, or heavy sweat, and keep it away from perfumes and lotions. Dust it with a soft dry brush and store it dry.
