It is believed that Su-embroidery originated during the Three Kingdoms period (around 220–280 AD), when women in the Wu region produced embroidered garments and textiles for royal families and aristocrats. After over 2,000 years of evolution, Zhenhu is now home to a famous street called Xiupin Jie—literally “Embroidery Street”—where most of the local silk and embroidery businesses are based. At its peak, Zhenhu was said to have had over 3,000 skilled embroiderers.

Chanhua and Ronghua are two intangible cultural heritages were developed to prevent the wasting of the extra silk threads. When creating large silk pieces, artists must prepare at least 5% more silk threads and pieces to allow for unforeseen accidents. However, due to subtle colour differences between dye lots and variations in shape and width, any leftover silk materials typically cannot be reused in new artworks. Transforming these precious remnants into simple, elegant jewellery is the best way to honour their value and purpose.

 

Our collections span silk jewellery, and hair ornaments, blending delicate textures with playful versatility. Within our Chuanhua and Ronghua series, you’ll find earrings, studs, brooches and hair pins, each handmade and coated with a nano waterproof layer, making them resistant to unexpected rain. Our earrings are so lightweight that you can wear them all day without pressure or discomfort.

Our Silk Jewellery is designed to be more than decorative — they can be lightly perfumed, holding your chosen fragrance for up to two weeks, creating a subtle sensory experience wherever they are placed.
