We usually describe exquisite jewelry as high-end jewelry, so how do we describe other exquisite things?
As a very important part of jewelry, jewelry technology determines the conditions for jewelry to become exquisite decorations. When I use jewelry crafts to make some common items in my life, what will these exquisite crafts bring to these items? What is the impact on the characteristics of the items?
A beautiful colander, a pair of canvas shoes with precious metal soles, and a coffee flower that never disappears. When the functions of these items are replaced by jewelry, some achieve the balance I seek, while others bring a strong sense of conflict.
Therefore, through the transformation of technology and the substitution of materials, while thinking about the possibility of jewelry, I am also exploring the meaning and value of handicrafts.
My creation comes from several traditional jewelry crafts that I studied during my four years as an undergraduate, such as chisel carving, filamentation, and enamel. These crafts can be used to make some very delicate and highly decorative crafts and jewelry.
However, these processes take a lot of time. Now some jewelry factories can quickly make some rough copies through modeling and casting. As consumers, they cannot tell whether these are real intangible cultural heritage processes or factory-made ones.
These intangible cultural heritage technology has become a label used to increase consumption. People no longer care about the production process and technology concept, but only care about its decorative value.
I think these crafts should be well known by people. When these crafts appear in all aspects of life, people will be interested in them and actively understand them. It is a good channel to promote traditional Chinese crafts.
