Sizing

All measurements are approximate. Flower sizes are measured without the comb or pin.

Care

Hair combs & hair pins: Keep away from direct sunlight, water, perfume, and hairspray. Avoid crushing, pressing, or folding the petals. Store in the original box when not in use.

Lapel pins: Keep away from direct sunlight, water, and perfume. Avoid crushing, pressing, or folding the petals. Store in the original box when not in use.

Handmade

As these are handmade pieces, each one is unique in shape, so slight variations may occur. Colours may also look slightly different depending on your screen.

01 · Our Story

One petal at a time

Every Sweet Flora piece begins as a small ball of cold porcelain clay, mixed to my own recipe and shaped by hand, petal by petal, until it looks as though it was just picked.

I first sculpted clay flowers as a hobby in 2000. I learned from teachers online, spent years developing a clay recipe of my own, and later travelled to Thailand to study with master artisans in the craft’s traditional home.

Today, every flower is still made in my small studio in Vlaardingen, the Netherlands. Cold porcelain is fine, lightweight and air-dried, so it keeps the delicate softness of a petal while staying comfortable to wear.

The inspiration is personal. My grandmother loved to wear fresh flowers in her hair. Sweet Flora carries that gesture forward: a flower to wear for a wedding, a celebration, or an ordinary Tuesday, made to last a lifetime.

Hand-sculpted cold porcelain flowers, shaped petal by petal, rooted in Thai craft and made in the Netherlands.

Handmade

Hands, not machines. Small imperfections are part of the signature.

Timeless

Designed to be kept and worn for decades, not for a season.

Heritage

Thai clay-flower craft, honoured and carried into a Dutch studio.

Considered

Low-waste packaging, EU suppliers, no excess. Premium without the throwaway.

Materials & Making

What is cold porcelain?

Cold porcelain isn’t porcelain, and it isn’t baked. It’s a fine, air-dried clay — lightweight, strong, and soft-matte, which is exactly why petals made from it look and feel so close to fresh flowers. It is not polymer clay, resin or plastic.

How each flower is made

Every petal is rolled, thinned and shaped individually by hand — no moulds, no casting. Petals are layered one at a time into a full bloom, then wired to a comb, pin or stem.

Because each is sculpted rather than stamped out, no two are ever identical. The small differences are the signature of a maker’s hand.

A note on colour & findings

The flowers are a soft ivory white – cold porcelain is never stark white, it carries a subtle natural warmth. It’s a feature of the material, not a flaw.

Flowers are mounted on nickel-free, tarnish-resistant findings that are EU REACH compliant and skin-friendly. Metal colour is offered in Gold or Silver where noted.

Flower Care Guide

  • Hair combs & hair pins: Keep away from direct sunlight, water, perfume, and hairspray.
  • Lapel pins: Keep away from direct sunlight, water, and perfume.
  • Avoid crushing, pressing, or folding the petals.
  • Store in the original box when not in use.

Common Questions

Frequently Asked Questions
