Qing Dynasty Fragrant Concubine Brooch China History Qing Dynasty Emperor Qianlong China Crown Hairpin Chinoiserie Oriental Oriental Rose Coral Pink Flower Lover Asia Princess

*This is the last one* This brooch is modeled after the hairpin worn by the wife of Emperor Qianlong, a famous Chinese emperor of the Qing dynasty. Although the Fragrance Concubine is not well known in Japan, she is apparently a very popular figure among Chinese history fans as an unfortunate beauty of Uighur origin. In honor of the Fragrant Consort, who was a Muslim, we have incorporated filigree parts that exude an exotic scent and were made in Turkey, an Islamic country (the circular hanging ornament at the bottom right). I hung white and pink natural coral beads (jujube-shaped, dyed) on it. Also, inspired by the legend that she emitted a fragrant fragrance from her body, we have incorporated fragrant rose motifs into the design. It is made of resin with a conch shell-like color that is a marbled mix of pink and cream. For color, we scattered Czech beads in a subtle shade of transparent pink and coral-colored Swarovski glass pearls, which have a beautiful, distortion-free spherical shape. When swayed, the hanging ornaments make a rustling sound. Perhaps the hair ornaments that adorned the hair of beauties of the past also made a soft noise like this as they walked. I hope it will inspire you to think about the romance of history. It is said that the Fragrance Concubine is a fictional character based on a real empress. The queen, who served as the model for her, was also a Muslim woman of Uighur origin, but she was very much loved by Emperor Qianlong and lived a natural life. To ensure peace of mind, we will include a silicone brooch stopper. The last item is shown on the right side of the 1st to 6th images and video. The arrangement is dynamic, allowing your eye to meet the flower lover no matter what angle you view them from. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u4tsvOeqwKw In the seventh image, the paper underneath is the size of a postcard.

The reason why the hairpin, which decorates hair, was chosen as a motif to represent these women is because it would have been one of the favorite items that could help gauge the character of its owner. ◇ ◇ ◇ This is a delicate piece, so please handle it with care. The hanging ornaments are particularly delicate, so please be careful. If the hanging ornaments become tangled, please gently untangle them. We try to create designs that hide the shower base (the mesh base that holds the parts together) as much as possible, but for this series we have left it as part of the design. Please be aware of this in advance. The parts are attached to the base with string. It may feel like it moves a little, but it is fastened in place so that it will not come off, so please use it with confidence. If you store it in a plastic bag with a zipper when not in use, you can enjoy it in the same condition as when you purchased it for a long time. If it is left exposed to air, the metal part may discolor. All metal parts are plated, so when cleaning, please be careful not to rub too hard with an abrasive cloth. The color of each resin rose motif may vary slightly. Since coral is a natural material, each piece will vary in size and shape. Please understand that this is a unique characteristic of natural materials. The Turkish metal parts may have slight distortions in their shape. We hope you will understand that this is part of their character. Please avoid using this product on fabrics where pinholes will be visible. Product images are taken in natural light unless otherwise specified. Material: Resin, glass, coral (dyed), metal, nylon Size: Approx. 7.5cm x 6cm
