The design is drawn from a Qing dynasty silver-gilt butterfly hairpin (银镀金蝴蝶纹簪) held in the Palace Museum, its wings enamelled in kingfisher blue and traced in gold, recalling the look of the old dian cui (点翠) work. In Chinese tradition the butterfly is an emblem of joy, love and long life, and here it is caught mid-flight, wings spread, a bright mirror to hold up to a fair face.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTakes the form of a butterfly whose wings open to reveal the mirror\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDrawn from a Qing silver-gilt butterfly hairpin in the Palace Museum, reimagined in enamel and relief\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe butterfly (蝴蝶), a long-loved emblem of joy, love and long life\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWings enamelled in kingfisher blue that recalls the look of dian cui (点翠), traced in bright gold\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eA face worked in the manner of mother-of-pearl with a soft pearlescent gradient, set with cat's eye cabochons and small red bead flowers\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFinished with a gold-tone tassel\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWho This Is For\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFor the woman who keeps beauty close at hand and finds meaning in the old stories.
