A Flower Born from Crystal and Craft
In Thai culture, the Lelawadee — known to the world as the Plumeria or Frangipani — is one of the most beloved and symbolically rich flowers in existence. Associated with grace, new beginnings, and enduring beauty, it is woven into the fabric of Thai life, from temple offerings to bridal garlands to the finest works of decorative art. It is a flower that means something.
Our Lelawadee flower rhinestone brooch translates that meaning into a meticulously handcrafted embellishment that carries the spirit of the flower in every facet of every crystal. Designed for luxury invitation designers, couture fashion houses, wedding stationery studios, and anyone who believes that the finest details tell the most important stories, this brooch is as much an object of beauty as it is a functional accessory.
Handmade in Thailand by skilled artisans who understand both the cultural significance of the flower and the technical demands of precision crystal work, this piece represents the best of what handmade embellishment can be — deeply considered, beautifully executed, and impossible to replicate by machine.

Grade A Crystals — Hand-Set for Perfection
The quality of a rhinestone embellishment is only as good as the quality of the stones it carries — and we refuse to compromise. Every single crystal set into this brooch is Grade A rhinestone — the highest classification available, selected for superior cut precision, exceptional clarity, and brilliant multi-directional light reflection.
Each stone is placed and secured carefully by hand, ensuring perfect alignment, consistent spacing, and secure setting across the entire surface of the brooch. The result is a piece where the crystal coverage is seamless and complete — no gaps, no misaligned stones, no variation in quality from the centre of the flower to its outermost petal tips.
In silver plating, the Grade A crystals take on a cool, luminous brilliance — like morning light on water — that elevates any invitation suite or garment it adorns to a genuinely exceptional level of finish.
Pin Back or Clip — Designed for Every Application
Recognizing that a truly versatile embellishment needs to work across multiple surfaces and applications, we offer this brooch in two fitting options:
Pin back — the traditional brooch fitting, featuring a sturdy pin and clasp mechanism that secures the brooch directly through fabric, ribbon, cardstock, or silk-covered surfaces. Ideal for invitation cards, silk envelopes, fabric-wrapped boxes, garment applications, and any surface where a piercing attachment is practical and secure.
Clip fitting — a non-piercing clip mechanism that grips the surface without penetrating it. Ideal for delicate fabrics, layered invitation elements, ribbon arrangements, and applications where a pin mark would be undesirable.
When placing your order, simply let us know your intended use and we will guide you toward the fitting that best suits your specific application — ensuring a secure, beautiful result every time.

Also Available in Gold — Two Finishes, One Extraordinary Design
For designers and studios working with warmer color palettes, the Lelawadee brooch is also available in gold plating — delivering the same exceptional crystal work and handmade quality in a finish that pairs beautifully with champagne, ivory, blush, burgundy, sage, and terracotta tones.
Silver plating is the natural choice for cool, contemporary, and monochrome palettes — white, grey, navy, black, and icy jewel tones. It brings a crisp, modern energy to the classic flower form and works particularly well for winter weddings, formal galas, and minimalist luxury stationery aesthetics.
Gold plating suits warmer, more romantic, and traditionally elegant palettes — champagne silk, ivory linen, blush satin, and rich jewel tones. The gold finish deepens the warmth of the crystal reflection and creates a more opulent, classical impression — ideal for traditional luxury weddings, summer garden parties, and heritage-inspired event design.
Both finishes are available with either pin or clip fittings, and both carry identical Grade A crystal quality and handmade construction standards.
Endless Applications — From Invitation Suite to Couture Garment
The Lelawadee rhinestone brooch has been designed with true versatility in mind. Its 46×46mm dimensions make it large enough to serve as a centrepiece embellishment while remaining refined enough to work as an accent detail — giving designers and stylists genuine creative flexibility across a wide range of applications:
Luxury invitation suites — positioned at the centre of a silk ribbon closure on a boxed wedding invitation, the brooch serves as the defining focal point of the entire suite — the detail that transforms beautiful packaging into something truly extraordinary
Couture invitation cards — pinned directly through layered invitation elements, vellum wraps, or wax-sealed enclosures for a jewel-like accent that elevates the stationery to wearable art
Silk and fabric invitation boxes — affixed to the lid of a gatefold box as a decorative clasp alternative, creating an opening moment of pure luxury that guests will remember
Folios and portfolio covers — clipped or pinned to leather, linen, or silk-covered presentation folios for corporate and creative industries where first impressions carry significant weight
Fashion and couture garments — worn as a brooch on lapels, necklines, waistbands, or bridal sashes, where the floral crystal design adds a refined jewellery-like accent to any garment
Bridal accessories — pinned to veils, sashes, clutch bags, or bridal shoes for a coordinated crystal detail that carries the floral theme through every element of the bridal look
Wedding favors and gift packaging — attached to ribbon-tied favor boxes or gift pouches for a premium finishing touch that doubles as a keepsake the recipient can wear or repurpose
