About Good Fortune Gourd 주얼리 컬렉션

굿 포춘 고드(Good Fortune Gourd)는 18K 골드, 진주, 다이아몬드로 제작된 주얼리 컬렉션이다. 조롱박은 행운과 부를 상징하는 중국의 전통적인 모티프이다. 각각의 조롱박 형태에는 '대복(大福)'을 의미하는 두 개의 한자 형상을 따라 흐르는 추상적인 곡선이 담겨 있다. 이 컬렉션은 목걸이, 귀걸이, 반지로 구성된다. 목걸이는 조롱박 안에 진주를 넣어 착용할 수도 있고, 진주를 꺼내어 아래에 펜던트처럼 매달아 착용할 수도 있다. 골드 부분은 3D 프린팅으로 성형하여 주얼리 공방의 작업 효율을 높였다.

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
