Crafted under the auspices of the Palace Museum, this exquisite Ruyi-inspired Chinese jade hairpin reimagines a Qing Dynasty treasure—the “Celadon Jade Magpie-and-Plum Ruyi Sceptre”—into wearable elegance. The design honors the Ruyi’s historical role as a cherished gift for prosperity and goodwill during the Ming and Qing dynasties.

Design Highlights:
A magpie alighting on plum blossoms (“喜上眉梢”) adorns the Ruyi head, embodying joy, hope, and the heralding of auspicious news—a motif frequently celebrated in traditional Chinese hair bun stick designs. Intricate hollow-carved “Ruyi” form framed by 18K gold-plated copper, accented with lustrous natural red agate (symbolizing nobility) and mother-of-pearl “snowflakes” dusting five-petal plum blooms (representing spring’s arrival and peace).

Gracefully curved 17cm pin ensures secure, comfortable wear, mirroring the contours of traditional Ruyi sceptres.
