This brooch was designed and made with filigree craftsmanship, which is the national intangible cultural heritage.

Filigree craftsmanship refers to a traditional metalworking technique in which fine threads of precious metals, such as gold or silver, are meticulously twisted, coiled, and soldered to create intricate and delicate patterns. This art form often involves combining the fine metal wires into floral motifs, lattice designs, or other elaborate decorative shapes.

It is a hallmark of Chinese traditional craftsmanship, dating back over 2,000 years, and is often used in jewelry, royal ornaments, and decorative items. The technique requires exceptional skill and patience, as artisans handcraft every detail with precision.

According to our inspiration, butterfly is the symbol of discussion around freedom and beauty. Gold represents wealth and prosperity in Chinese culture. Filigree craftsmanship could make the butterfly more lively via finer silver wires. As the traditional and royal craft in the Chinese history, filigree craftsmanship also symbolizes auspiciousness, good fortune, and beautiful blessings.
