Chrysanthemum Brooch -- Flame

Why it's worth it

Petals so lifelike, someone will lean in to smell it.

The Edit

Forty-plus individually cut fabric petals spiral outward from a hand-coiled center, each one printed to carry the natural red-to-coral gradient of a spider chrysanthemum in full bloom. The layered petal construction is pinned at the reverse with a single bar closure, keeping the face completely uninterrupted. At roughly palm-sized, it reads as a botanical specimen rather than costume jewelry.
