This brooch draws inspiration from Chinese lanterns, ingeniously opening a new chapter of the fusion of tradition and fashion. When creating, the designer ingeniously interweaves traditional elements with exquisite jewelry craftsmanship, striving to carry the cultural heritage of the East within a small space.
The exterior is painted with classic red lacquer to depict the shape of a lantern. The red lacquer has a pure color and a lustrous glaze, precisely replicating the festive appearance of Chinese lanterns. The delicate golden trim, like a golden thread bond, Outlines the elegant profile of the lantern and adds a touch of luxurious texture. The hanging tassels gently sway, each thread conveying a rich Oriental charm, instantly evoking people's beautiful associations with the scenes of red lanterns hanging high and joy and harmony in the streets and alleys during traditional festivals.
When the brooch is opened, it is like opening a door to a secret realm of Eastern aesthetics. The interior features a golden frame in the shape of a flower window, with exquisite hollowed-out patterns that exude classical elegance. The lapis lazuli inlaid in the frame, with its deep and deep blue color, forms a sharp and harmonious contrast with the gold. By drawing on the classical aesthetics contained in the stained glass Windows and the mysterious depth of lapis lazuli, a richly layered visual experience is created, achieving a dialogue between tradition and modernity - traditional elements are the foundation, and modern craftsmanship endows them with new forms of presentation. It also achieves a blend of appearance and essence - on the outside, it is the festive image of Chinese lanterns, and on the inside, it is the profound accumulation of Eastern culture.
In addition, all aspects of the product can be disassembled for use, realizing social value in a recyclable and renewable manner.
