Crimson: Leading jewelry trend with traditional culture

Zongming is an independent designer after the 85th. In 2012, she founded her studio. The studio is located on the old east of the cultural heritage. Under the pink wall Daiwa, it is clear that the traditional culture and modern jewelry skills are organically integrated with a pair of clever hands, creating a unique Chinese style jewelry.

In 2015, an accidental opportunity was fortunate to participate in the "Milan World Expo Nanjing Week" to work with the famous clothing designer Lawrence Xu (Xu Jianshu) team. At that clothing exhibition, a team made Nanjing Yunjin a fashionable clothing with a modern design, which shocked her. If this experience is the enlightenment of the design concept of traditional combination of fashion, another coincidence in Europe is that she will try to create a catalyst with handmade jewelry with national cultural characteristics in the future.

Earlier, it was clear for a period of time on Crete Island in Greece. Once, she found a fan -shaped necklace for more than 1,300 BC in a local museum. Her shape and style are very similar to the jewelry of a well -known European fashion jewelry brand now. "It turns out that the famous European jewelry design brand is based on their traditional cultural elements, and through some trendy design, it has re -created contemporary jewelry with its own brand characteristics." After returning to China, she germinated the idea of ​​making Chinese element jewelry design and began to study traditional national culture.

In 2016, she began to serve as South Bo volunteers, and she touched various cultural relics and exhibits. She reads every historical relic, understands its past and present, and seek its connotation. She believes that as a jewelry designer, while understanding ancient culture, she also needs to learn the aesthetic logic of the ancients, and then allows jewelry to better carry cultural feelings.

"We have a huge treasure house, and each element has deep connotation worth being tapped. With the advancement of the times, more and more young people are paying attention to the field of traditional culture. I think this is for our young designers. It is a very good opportunity for the times. "Said Mingming.

Through the Mingming, it is not only focused on jewelry design, but also learned traditional handicrafts such as blue printed cloth and silk. In her opinion, Jiangsu has rich cultural resources of handicrafts, and a group of old craftsmen inherited all kinds of ancient craftsmanship, and contemporary young designers are also very eager to learn and communicate with them. By learning some traditional non -heritage technologies, contacting more "Su Zuo" craftsmen, bringing more inspiration and cultural connotation support to their own design, thereby combining traditions with modern and modern.
