Natural textile fibers in contemporary Brazilian jewelry

Abstract

The present study discusses the use of textiles in the contemporary production of jewelry in Brazil, highlighting the application of natural fibers. Manual weaving of natural fibers is closely linked to traditional handicraft just as metallic interlacing is used in jewelry production since antiquity. Bibliographical and scientific literature review were carried out as well as consulting collections of Brazilian creators, artists and designers, currently working with jewelry and employing natural fibers. Reflecting on the use of natural fibers in the Brazilian contemporary jewelry, this study has as its reference, in order to make a broad discussion, the work of artists and designers from different regions of the country, whose expression is different regarding natural material available and applied on the works and the productive techniques originated in regional traditions. Considering the search for innovation in the use of materials, it can be observed an intense renewal in Brazilian jewelry, which is impregnated by both unusual natural elements and traditional values of the culture of the country.

Emotional expression in jewellery design under the background of artificial intelligence

“…Literature (Qazi et al, 2020) believes that sensory design is the first level of all designs, because as an individual, sensory communication is the most direct way for jewellery to communicate with people. Literature (Cattani et al, 2020) believes that with the development of the times, the types and modes of product design are increasingly enriched, and people are not satisfied with owning products, but pay more attention to spiritual pursuits and life experience. The sensory design in design is mainly reflected in the appearance, colour, material and texture of the product and other object characteristics.…”

Jewelry Art Modeling Design Method Based on Computer-Aided Technology

“…So, from a rational point of view, how should we research and quantify consumers' styling literatures? In the actual design process and design scheme evaluation, we can often hear the narrow opinion or perceptual understanding of many designers or decision makers [7]. Misreading, misinterpreting other people's designs, taking the literal meaning, and not asking for further explanations have sometimes become a common ethos of designers.…”
