The design features of gold zodiac jewelry are mainly reflected in the following aspects:
The styling design integrates tradition and modernity
The Q-ization of zodiac images: By using 3D hard gold technology to create a three-dimensional effect, the zodiac images are designed to be cute and adorable, such as the round shape of a rabbit or the smart shape of a little monkey. This not only retains the traditional cultural connotation of the zodiac but also conforms to modern aesthetics.
Innovation in craftsmanship and techniques: Utilizing intangible cultural heritage techniques such as "chisel engraving" and "filigree inlay", zodiac patterns are carved on gold jewelry, presenting rich details. For instance, presenting the shape of a dragon through gold carving techniques not only retains the traditional majesty of the dragon but also enhances its artistic expressiveness through modern craftsmanship.
The design elements carry cultural implications
The zodiac symbols symbolize: Each zodiac shape carries a specific meaning. For instance, the golden tiger symbolizes strength and courage, the golden Rooster symbolizes good fortune and happiness, and the golden horse symbolizes galloping and progress. Through concrete shapes, cultural blessings are conveyed.
Innovative combination design: By integrating the zodiac with auspicious elements, such as the shape of a snake holding a gourd, an apple, and the character "Fu", it not only highlights the characteristics of the zodiac but also reinforces cultural implications like "double happiness and prosperity" and "peace and good fortune".
The styling takes into account diverse needs
Fashionable design: The snake-shaped jewelry is designed in a minimalist style, with a ring replacing the outline of traditional copper coins. The shape of a snake holding a copper coin symbolizes "having leisure (holding) money in the Year of the Snake", which not only retains the elements of the zodiac but also conforms to modern minimalist aesthetics.
Scenario-based design: Develop exclusive shapes for different wearing scenarios. For instance, the New Year series can be paired with lantern and firecracker elements, while the baby zodiac lock can be matched with the words "Live to be a hundred years old". Through shape design, the adaptability to usage scenarios is enhanced.
The shaping process realizes artistic expression
Detail carving: In the shape of the spirit snake, through the delicate carving of scales and the shaping of profound eyes, the wisdom and agility of the snake are displayed, transforming abstract implications into concrete artistic expressions.
Dynamic design: Featuring a meandering and lively snake body design, combined with structures such as the Ruyi knot and the fortune plate, the jewelry presents a dynamic beauty in a static state, enhancing the visual artistic effect.
