Golden Buds goes with everything.  Added to your permanent collection, it is a perfect example of slow fashion.

WHY VANILLA?

most precious metal pieces you see on White Orchid Studio pieces are hand carved to mimic parts of a vanilla plant.  Why?  Because vanilla is considered a white orchid. It is also the essential flavoring when baking custard, cookies, cakes, etc.  If the aroma and taste of vanilla invoke great memories, I hope those memories transfer to my White Orchid Studio pieces.
