PRODUCT DETAILS
Description
Hand-enamelled and crystal-set costume gingko brooch with faux pearl inspired by a detail from a 19th-century Chinese head dress. The gingko leaf has been a revered motif in Chinese art for more than two millennia, appearing in bronze vessels, embroidered textiles, carved jade, and painted scrolls. Its distinctive fan shape symbolises longevity, resilience, and enduring harmony, owing to the tree’s remarkable lifespan and its survival through periods of cultural upheaval. By the Qing dynasty, gingko forms were widely incorporated into court dress and ceremonial ornament, often worked in gilt metal, silk, and gemstone inlay.

Ordered two of these unusual brooches as gifts for special people who like pearls/gingko products.
Only one was enclosed with order.
Sean of Customer Services was very professional in dealing with the matter and sorted the forwarding of the second one most promptly.
Thank you Sean - hope I spelt your name correctly.

As often with my orders, this one was from 'she who must be obeyed', who professes herself delighted with this, especially at its reduced price.

As ever, my order was delivered very quickly. Sadly, the brooch did not look the same colour as it did in the catalogue, and I have returned it for a refund.

This is a beautiful brooch. It is well made and looks stunning on the jacket for which I bought it. I love the colour and delicate design.
