The reverse side is a solid, gold-plated metal backing with a scalloped silhouette, and two circular, silver-toned magnets are embedded flush in the center for secure attachment to magnetic surfaces.

A closer look
This ornate refrigerator magnet features a complex, symmetrical design combining the aesthetics of a traditional Chinese round floral motif with the geometric structure of a snowflake. The piece is constructed from a metal base described as copper plated with real gold, resulting in a substantial, heavy appearance with a lustrous, reflective golden finish that resembles a solid gold ingot. The intricate pattern is defined by raised metal ridges that create individual compartments for the inlay material, showcasing high-precision craftsmanship typical of the luodian (mother-of-pearl inlay) technique.
The surface decoration utilizes mother-of-pearl inlays presented in three distinct shades of blue, ranging from deep azure to lighter turquoise, which are arranged in teardrop and petal shapes along the outer edges and inner arms of the snowflake. Contrasting with the cool blue tones, the central petals and core elements feature an iridescent, pearlescent white material that exhibits a subtle sheen and organic texture under light. This combination of materials creates a rich visual depth, with the glossy, smooth finish of the inlays standing out against the metallic gold framework.
Geometrically, the object maintains strict radial symmetry with six primary points, each branching into detailed, leaf-like flourishes that mimic the delicate structure of ice crystals or botanical filigree. The construction involves meticulous filling of the metal cells, though the dense arrangement of these small sections can result in minute, unavoidable gaps between the inlay and the metal borders, a characteristic inherent to the handcrafted nature of this style. The side profile reveals a moderate thickness consistent with metal enamel work, ensuring the item has a tangible weight and presence rather than appearing flat or flimsy.
The reverse side of the magnet consists of a solid, gold-plated metal backing that mirrors the scalloped silhouette of the front design. Two circular, silver-toned magnets are embedded flush into the center of this backplate, positioned symmetrically to ensure secure attachment to magnetic surfaces such as refrigerators or lockers. The overall dimensions appear compact yet substantial when held between fingers, suggesting a size comparable to a large coin or slightly larger, suitable for decorative display without being overly bulky.
