About Traditional Parure Бизәнү комплекты

Бу проект традицион рус бизәнү комплектын тотрыклы технологияләрне традицион һөнәр алымнары белән берләштереп яңарта. Рус традицион парюр өч төп элементтан тора: Бәйрәм таҗы, ясалма янтарьдан муенлык һәм Ожерелок муенлыгы. Екатерина Рус Төньягының бизәнү әйберләрен тикшереп өйрәнде, аның һөнәрләрен һәм тарихын яңартып торгызу өчен кабат эшкәртелгән пыяладан ясалма янтарь ясау кебек яңа тотрыклы алымнар кулланды. Моннан тыш, ул дизайн мөмкинлекләрен киңәйтте һәм клуазоне алтын эшләү техникасын турыдан-туры кабат эшкәртелгән пыялага кулланырга уникаль алым эшләп чыгарды.

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.
