{"product_id":"lotus-flower-goddess-hairpin","title":"Lotus Flower Goddess Hairpin","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe lotus (荷) is the flower goddess of the sixth month, blooming tall and graceful like a beauty standing in jade. The poet Li Bai praised it as rising from clear water, natural and free of adornment, and this hairpin, drawn from a Song dynasty fan-leaf painting of lotus rising from water, carries that same unhurried grace. A lotus unfolds in gradient enamel, its pink petals shading softly from deep to pale, with a carved jade lotus pod glowing green at the centre. Small pearls and jade beads are hand-set in a curving arc above, and a slender tassel of jade beads sways beneath. Slipped into the hair, it moves like a lotus stirred by a summer breeze.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eKey Features\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThe Lotus, Flower Goddess of Summer:\u003c\/strong\u003e The lotus rises clean from the water, a classical Chinese symbol of purity, grace, and beauty that owes nothing to ornament.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eGradient Enamel Petals:\u003c\/strong\u003e The lotus is finished in cold enamel that shades gently from deep pink to pale, its layered petals softly graduated for a lifelike, watercolour effect.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCarved Jade Lotus Pod:\u003c\/strong\u003e At the heart of the bloom sits a hand-carved jade lotus seed pod, softly translucent.
