About Traditional Parure Zargarlik To'plami

Ushbu loyiha an'anaviy rus zargarlik to'plamini barqaror texnologiyalarni an'anaviy hunarmandchilik texnikalari bilan birlashtirib qayta ko'rib chiqadi. Rus An'anaviy Parure uch asosiy elementdan iborat: Bayram Toji, sun'iy kehribar bo'yin bezagi va Ojerelok bo'yin bezagi. Ekaterina Shimoliy Rossiya zargarlik buyumlarini o'rganib, uning hunarmandchiligi va tarixini qayta tiriltirdi hamda qayta ishlangan shishadan sun'iy kehribar yaratish kabi yangi barqaror usullarni joriy qildi. Bundan tashqari, u dizayn imkoniyatlarini kengaytirdi va kloisonne zargarlik texnikasini bevosita qayta ishlangan shishaga qo'llashning o'ziga xos usulini ishlab chiqdi.

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.
