Modern art jewelry is developing towards simplicity, geometry, and abstract decoration in terms of design. Designers skillfully apply simple and bright lines, three-dimensional spatial structures, and abstract geometric shapes to express an unexpected idea. Each exquisite piece of jewelry is actually a small sculpture, even a perfect round sculpture, which can be enjoyed visually from any angle.
With the rapid development of social telecommunications, networks, information transmission, and high technology, the cultures and arts of various ethnic groups around the world often undergo alienation. People feel an indescribable pressure on the modern material caused by cutting-edge technology, and are anxious about the rapid changes, competition, and environmental pollution in modern society. People deeply hope for a kind of tranquility and a warm oasis emotionally. This is reflected in jewelry design, where people admire classical art and retro style, pursue traditional styles and ethnic characteristics, advocate returning to nature and simplicity, and these will become eternal themes. In order to express this theme, beautiful flowers and plants, cute animals, and simple ethnic patterns will be used more in jewelry design.
With the development of society, people will no longer be confined to traditional and expensive materials in the material of jewelry. New materials will emerge one after another, including organic and inorganic materials, and even readily available materials, which will endow works with richer connotations and strong expressive power. For example, titanium gold, a material that was rarely used in the past, can transform into rich colors and has a strong sense of layering when heated, and is often adopted by some modern jewelry masters.
Modern jewelry production is no longer limited to traditional wax casting and decorative carving techniques. As long as the work requires it, artists can use more industrial processing methods, such as turning, milling, planing, grinding, riveting, drilling, electroplating, sandblasting, corrosion, etc. These processing techniques will bring unexpected effects to jewelry manufacturing.
