Practical Exploration Of Texture In Modern Enamel Jewelry

Boasting a long history,enamel technology can be dated back to the Ancient Egypt and Mesopotamia.Along with migration,merchandise trade,cultural exchange and war,such technology is gradually known by other nations.As the latter half of the 13 th Century has witnessed the technology import into China,the unique cloisonne that is combined with Chinese culture is developed.At the very beginning enamel articles mostly include bottle,tin,stove,pot and dish.Until the Ming dynasty enamel technology was not used to make jewelry,but not everyone can get it.In the Ming and Qing dynasties and the Republic of China era,enamel jewelry is primarily characterized by cloisonne and chiseled designs which highlight the decorative effects.Ahead of economic depression caused by Japanese invasion at that time,Chinese cloisonne was on the verge of extinction and cultural fault.Later,enamel technology was recovered and inherited little by little after the founding of new China,which was also applied to jewelry fabrication.In spite of rapid growth,Chinese enamel jewelry still suffered from predicament.With a focus on traditional elements and handcraft,the jewelry design is far from modern sense and innovation.Also,the artistic form tends to be mediocre without breakthrough.In terms of modeling,the design lacks the sense of volume and third dimension.Materials are basically restricted to silver and copper,so that fewer metals are used to make enamel.Besides,both color and form are not exotic enough.Affected by new concepts and elements,ordinary and stereotyped enamel jewelry hardly appeals to modern consumers.Contemporary enamel jewelry pursues diversified skill,color and texture,but the study on enamel texture is less and less.To this end,this study is to explore more possibilities from the texture of modern enamel jewelry.To research the texture of modern enamel jewelry,it is essential to analyze material,modeling and process,and further summarize the way that copper grid and glaze are integrated.Such ways not only reform the texture of copper grid but also enhance third dimension accordingly.Through such principles of form as comparison,coordination,tempo and rhythm,enamel jewelry will share beauty of form and fashion design.In this way viewers will enjoy stronger vision.The texture of enamel jewelry makes forms of artistic presentation more diversified,thus highlighting its unique charm,bringing brand-new ideas and aspirations for modern enamel jewelry design.The artistic creation on the basis of texture of enamel art renders shocking vision and touch for viewers.More important,the true feeling and thought of the creator will be presented accordingly.
