Jingumae Ginkgo Avenue Antique Gold Brooch Ginkgo Late Autumn Early Winter Fallen Leaves Yellow Amber Givre Glass Sabrina Glass Vintage Glass Lemon Quartz

At Heart Bouquet, we have often presented ginkgo-motif brooches. This time, our ginkgo design is inspired by the avenue in Jingumae, one of Tokyo's renowned ginkgo viewing spots. We have cherished and carefully nurtured the realistic expression of ginkgo leaves, desiring to create a piece with a truly special way of wearing it. The detailed craftsmanship on both the front and back allows for versatile styling. The ginkgo leaf is encircled by various yellow vintage glass stones. The depth of the avenue's golden hues is depicted through a pointillist arrangement of layered glass in different shades of yellow. You can enjoy the unique color expressions only possible with diverse glass materials within a single brooch. On the right side of the leaf, you'll find stones featuring transparent yellow stripes, "Givre" glass stones with yellow encapsulated within clear glass, topaz-colored stones with embossed surfaces, and "Sabrina" glass stones with yellow embraced by white opal. The white opal at the upper left was chosen for its ability to glow yellow when light strikes it. The faint blue that emerges as the light changes its angle represents the sky seen beyond the yellow. We hope that the brilliance of vintage glass, preserved through time for its beauty, evokes the splendor of Jingumae's historic ginkgo avenue. The warmth of exquisite glass and resin pearls lends an air of urban sophistication. A single drop of lemon quartz sparkles from the tip of the ginkgo leaf. A high-quality, gemstone-grade piece, luxuriously secured with 14KGF wire. Now, you might wonder about the pattern of overlapping leaves... Ginkgo leaves rarely suffer from insect damage, so you won't find holes from pests. However, some may ponder the superimposed leaf patterns. Are they shadows cast by other ginkgo leaves beyond the brooch's frame, or perhaps the imprint left by someone stepping on fallen leaves? May a landscape unfold in the hearts of those who behold it. For this brooch, we offer the same design in two color variations: gold and antique gold. One captures the ginkgo shimmering in the present autumn, while the other evokes the ginkgo dancing within the layered memories of time. The glass stones and beads used are largely the same for both. We would be delighted if you find amusement in observing how the impression of the colors themselves changes so dramatically through their contrast with the predominant surrounding hues. The gold version of this brooch is featured on this page. https://jp.pinkoi.com/product/jrpWhjRd The upper ginkgo motif has a small loop at the tip of its stem. By threading a chain through it, you can also wear it as a necklace. As the brooch has some weight, please choose a chain that is not overly delicate. To ensure peace of mind, we include a silicone brooch stopper. The 8th image is a photograph taken with a person for a nearly life-size representation. ☆----------------- We hope this reaches those who are drawn to it: Those who love ginkgo leaves / have memories associated with them / love yellow / love vintage / appreciate Art Nouveau / were born in November / were born in December / appreciate chic / elegance / subtle beauty / understated sophistication / mature yet lovely styles / enjoy museum visits / desire to transform their usual self.

As we use vintage materials, some glass stones may exhibit tarnishing on their foil. We kindly ask for your understanding that this is a patina created by time. Each piece is handmade, so there may be slight variations in the placement and shape of components. Parts are attached to the base with nylon thread. While they may feel slightly mobile, they are securely fastened to prevent detachment, ensuring safe use. Beads are arranged to minimize the visibility of the base setting. However, due to the nature of securing elements with the base's prongs, the surrounding area may reveal the base. Please avoid using on fabrics where needle holes would be conspicuous.
