But if we really go back, Chinese jewelry does have an unshakable position in world history. From the compact and simple gold and silver wares in Shang and Zhou Dynasties, to the blue crystal pendants in Tang Dynasty, and then to the crystal beads in jade fish in Southern Song Dynasty, there are classics in every era.
With the trend of retro in the past two years, many fashionable women have gradually changed their clothes, and the number of women shopping in cheongsam on the street has gradually increased.
Cheongsam, which prevailed in 1930s and 1940s, is the national costume of the Republic of China. It originated in Shanghai and then swept the country. Its rich poetry and elegant lines show the elegance and gentleness of women in China, and it is the most gorgeous product of China's long costume culture.
Every woman who wears cheongsam can inadvertently show the elegance of women, so when they choose jewelry accessories, no matter whether it is a good family or a small jasper, they are very careful in the choice of jewelry.
Therefore, even at this special stage of the Republic of China, the jewelry of the Republic of China is still painted with a strong color in the history of jewelry. So what was popular in that year?
0 1 | Noble and elegant jade
Emerald is a symbol of jewelry in the Republic of China. Because the concept of feminism was gradually established at that time, the aesthetics of women at that time also gradually changed.
Jade, which can best show women's gentleness and charm, is matched with cheongsam, which can best reflect women's elegance. It is noble and elegant, so jade was widely loved during the Republic of China.
02 | New fresh jewelry
Earlier, when China was in feudal society, jewelry was mostly headdresses and necklaces, but in the Republic of China, jewelry accessories had a significant change.
With the development of the times, during the Republic of China, the relatively old jewelry used in the Qing Dynasty was transformed into pendants, earrings, brooches and other ornaments, which not only inherited the culture of the Qing Dynasty, but also added new fashion elements in the Republic of China. This change was enthusiastically sought after by women in the Republic of China.
03 | Manufacturing Technology of Western Learning Spreading to the East
One of the reasons for the rapid growth and change of jewelry in the Republic of China was influenced by western culture.
At that time, many young people who came back from the west brought western culture back to China, including crafts and jewelry styles, so pearl jewelry gradually became popular during this period.
The jewelry industry in China is an ancient industry, which has experienced thousands of years of development, and the jewelry products in each period have their historical and cultural connotations. Up to now, they are not so much accessories as witnesses and inheritors of an era. Every product is unique and rare. Just like everyone, they are writing their own lives in different handwriting.
