Hand-painted golden osmanthus blossoms on a soft baroque pearl, like petals drifting across late-autumn light.
Blossom Pearl Stories · Private Collection
Golden Osmanthus Breeze
A baroque pearl brushed with tiny clusters of osmanthus — golden, fragrant, and always a little ahead of the season.
This piece belongs to the Blossom Pearl Stories series, where each flower
is painted to echo a specific memory rather than a perfect botanical study.
The osmanthus branches bend gently with the curve of the pearl, scattered with
small yellow petals that feel like they might drift off at any moment.
The surface of the pearl holds a cool lilac sheen, while the warm blossom tones
sit on top like sunlight on stone. It is a quiet piece — more whisper than shout —
made for someone who notices small fragrances carried by the wind.
This piece is not listed in the shop, but it is open to serious enquiries and inspection; collectors may contact the owner by email to make an offer.

The Collector's Story
Golden osmanthus always arrives a little unexpectedly — the air is already turning cold, but the scent is warm and a little shy, like a late reply to a long-sent message. This pearl was painted with that feeling in mind.
The first branch I drew was almost too straight, too careful. Only when the paint began to follow the uneven rhythm of the baroque surface did the piece start to feel alive. The flowers gathered in small clusters, leaning into the violet sheen of the nacre as if they were clinging to the last light of an autumn afternoon.
This pendant was never designed for a storefront. It stayed on my desk for a long time, then moved quietly into a private collection. Still, it remains a piece I am willing to let the right person discover slowly: by asking questions, by looking closely, by deciding for themselves what this small breeze of osmanthus means to them.
