About Traditional Parure Juweliestel

Hierdie projek hersien 'n tradisionele Russiese juweliestel deur volhoubare tegnologieë met tradisionele ambagstegnieke te kombineer. Die Russiese Tradisionele Parure bevat drie sleutelelemente: 'n Viering-Tiara, 'n kunsmatige amber halsstuk, en 'n Ojerelok-halsstuk. Ekaterina het juwele van die Russiese Noorde nagevors om sy ambagwerk en geskiedenis te laat herleef, deur nuwe volhoubare metodes soos die skep van kunsmatige amber uit herwinde glas te inkorporeer. Bykomend het sy ontwerpmoontlikhede uitgebrei en 'n unieke metode ontwikkel vir die toepassing van die cloisonné-goudsmidstegniek direk op herwinde glas.

Design Challenge
In the project, I studied jewelry from the traditional costumes of the Russian North to address this parure with historical accuracy while applying a new contemporary approach. These techniques are time-consuming and technically challenging. Additionally, I developed a unique method for applying the cloisonne goldsmithing technique directly onto recycled glass that required me to do profound research on glass qualities and closonne techniques.
Research
This project revises a traditional Russian jewelry set using modern sustainable techniques and traditional crafting methods. The Russian Traditional Parure includes three main pieces: a Celebration Tiara, a faux amber neckpiece, and an Ojerelok neckpiece. I studied jewelry from the traditional costumes of the Russian North to preserve these crafts. This project combines modern sustainable practices with traditional craft techniques.
Inspiration
I blend traditional hand embroidery techniques with metalwork in ornamental jewelry to illustrate my protest of the current Russian state propaganda based on fake national ideals. I do it by recalling original historical Russian craft practices and the conventional crafts I discovered through my profound research of traditional costumes and the garment history of Russia.
Project Duration
The Russian Parure took me approximately 400 hours for the development of design, embroidery work, metal work, etc. The project started in Lawrence, KS, in October of 2023 and finished in April of 2024
Operation Flow
This jewelry set comprises three elements: a tiara, a faux amber necklace, and a beaded neckpiece. Traditionally, it was worn by peasants in Northern Russia until the early 20th century. The set was worn by young women on their ceremony passing into the adulthood that was happening prior their wedding day.
