Rose-purple Women’s Satin Padded Jacket with Necklace Patterns on Shoulder Front

The most eye-catching part of this jacket is the embroidered yingluo-style necklace pattern by gold couching embroidery above the bust. Yingluo was originally a neck ornament for Buddha statues in ancient India and was introduced to China together with Buddhism. With flexible forms, yingluo can refer to either a simple circle made of precious metal, necklace with a pendent, a string of beads, or a locket.
Fifteen strands of gold threads were divided into five groups, each of which woven into a 0.4cm-wide braid, intertwining with a 0.4cm-wide blue and white stripe, creating 16 groups of ruyi patterns fixed with yellow silk stithes. Among these ruyi patterns which signify wishes coming true, eight are in a cloud shape which represent feminine beauty while the others with the form of a square lock representative of masculinity. These two groups of auspicious motifs, by alternating with each other, form a half circle with the collar as the center, creating a beautiful decorative necklace with auspicious meaning. These golden embroidered motifs, covering the entire area of above the bust, give viewers a sense of solemnity and grandeur.
