About Good Fortune Gourd Συλλογή Κοσμημάτων

Το Good Fortune Gourd είναι μια συλλογή κοσμημάτων φτιαγμένη από χρυσό 18 καρατίων, μαργαριτάρια και διαμάντια. Η κολοκύθα αποτελεί παραδοσιακό κινεζικό σύμβολο καλής τύχης και πλούτου. Κάθε σχήμα κολοκύθας φιλοξενεί αφηρημένες καμπύλες που ακολουθούν τη μορφή των δύο κινεζικών χαρακτήρων για τη μεγάλη τύχη. Η συλλογή περιλαμβάνει ένα κολιέ, σκουλαρίκια και ένα δαχτυλίδι. Το κολιέ μπορεί να φορεθεί με ένα μαργαριτάρι τοποθετημένο μέσα στην κολοκύθα ή με το μαργαριτάρι αφαιρεμένο και κρεμασμένο από κάτω ως μενταγιόν. Χρησιμοποιείται τρισδιάστατη εκτύπωση για τη διαμόρφωση των χρυσών μερών, γεγονός που βελτιώνει την αποδοτικότητα του εργαστηρίου κοσμημάτων.

Research
Gourd is viewed by the Chinese people as typical auspicious elements and symbols meaning "good fortune" and "wealth". The series of jewelry, seeking inspiration from the Big Gourd Bottle collected in the Palace Museum, Beijing, with “gourd” and Chinese character “big fortune” as the main elements, are an example of applying the implied auspicious meaning to modern jewelry. Each shape of gourd is designed with the Chinese characters "big fortune" in the middle, and the characters "big fortune" are presented in the form of abstract lines and patterns. Thus, the combination of modern abstract beauty and Chinese characters highlights the modern aesthetics. In addition, the gourd shape of the necklace pendant has a structure that can be opened to place in pearls, or hang them under the gourd, thus allowing for various ways of wearing.
Inspiration
The inspiration comes from the images on the Big Gourd Bottle with two Chinese characters "Big Fortune" collected in the Palace Museum, Beijing. "Gourd" is an auspicious pattern in Chinese tradition. Big Gourd Bottle symbolizes prosperity and harvest.
Project Duration
The project started in Sep. 2018 and finished in Feb. 2019 in China
