The Historical Development Process And Modern Application Of Filaments Embedded In Jewelry

The filigree inlay is a traditional gold and silver production technology which has a long history. It has the important position in the history of the development of China’s traditional handicraft.Based on previous research results and the existing archaeological data collation and analysis, this study clears a historical context that the filigree inlay technology developed in ancient time :Making mosaic art filigree inlay generally originated in the Neolithic age, it appears in the Shang Dynasty filigree craft. At the time of the Warring States, filigree mature production techniques has been basically formed. The Han Dynasty, formed a filigree inlay craft process system is more mature. During Wei and Jin Dynasties, filigree inlay production techniques continue to develop perfect. In the Tang and Song Dynasties, with respect to the other gold brilliant prosperity, filigree inlay production skills development is slightly slow, especially in the Song Dynasty in the Central Plains area, rarely found in filigree inlay artifacts unearthed. To the Yuan Dynasty, Chinese craftsmanship filigree inlay to rise rapidly, especially in the Central Plains and the Southern Han area. During the Ming and Qing Dynasties, Chinese craftsmanship filigree inlay to the top, write a glorious history of palace art.As the core technology for multi- filaments, gold and silver, gold is the royal jewelry material, folk jewelry silver products. Color of silk, gold, silver, as compared to the single, then in the decoration performance, as jewel bright and attractive, as blue color is rich in the change, even less than the kingfisher color. This paper will provide from the color of the material as categories, with the different materials, including Baoyu stone, blue point, kingfisher, new materials and other of filigree process performance and development.Since 2008, the filigree inlay process after was named the intangible cultural heritage, the past few years has a breakthrough development, master of the older generation of filaments and a new generation of jewelry designer, filigree jewelry do try. First, state support and jewelry enterprise capital injection, filaments of the older generation of artists continue to improve the technology, opening Shoutu, repair and imitation era of the Ming and Qing Dynasties the most representative works and explore the filigree craft technology. Second, the introduction of mechanical power, integration of modern science and technology, industrialization brought new vitality. Third, a new generation of designers in finding the way of their own design style, we use new materials, new technology, filaments as a pure technology into the design of the new, combined with modern design style and material.In conclusion, the author through the process of learning with filigree, blue point filaments and to explore two kinds of design style. First of all, will use filigree inlay process to make Chinese traditional charm Dielianhua other theme works; secondly, the simple geometric style into filaments among, the creation of a balanced series of works.
