Chinese velvet flowers are handcrafted from natural silk and copper wire and are traditionally used in folk festivals as ceremonial decorations. In Chinese, the pronunciation of "velvet flower" (绒花 - ronghua) closely resembles "prosperity" (荣华 - ronghua), symbolizing good fortune and blessings. Their designs often draw inspiration from auspicious elements found in everyday life.
