Kesi weaving is the essence of traditional Chinese silk artistry. Also known as "carved silk," its uniqueness lies in the meticulous arrangement of weft threads based on a pre-set pattern, which does not run through the entire fabric. Instead, fine shuttles weave the threads intricately according to the colors of the pattern. This technique creates subtle interruptions in the patterns, with a delicate precision akin to being carved by a knife, known as the "through warp, break weft" method. Embedding this exquisite Kesi pattern into a brooch transforms it into a one-of-a-kind jewelry piece, achieving a perfect fusion of intangible cultural heritage craftsmanship and modern aesthetics. With a spirit of inheritance, it redefines intangible heritage culture.
