| Auspicious culture is a characteristic cultural theme in China that has enjoyed a rich history and remains vivid today. It is an embodiment of the Chinese sentiments and aspirations, reflected in both the physical and the spiritual.The Chinese make it a special point in expressing their wish to pursue good fortune and avoid disasters."Auspicious" signs and spirit are accentuated in our everyday lives, including conversations, conducts, timing of festivals and the way people treat each other.Jewelry born in such contexts has formed an inseparable bond with our ancestors ever since old times. Every era has generated its particular style of jewelry with auspicious, aspiring contents. As jewelry evolves with history, it is often placed in an ongoing process of accumulation, oblivion, selection and abstraction. More than that, it has now become a recognized symbol, a publicly perceived object that the society can inherit and spread.Today, jewelry’s existence as symbols is stronger than ever. As the development of the jewelry design, it is no longer the technical beauty itself included in the jewelry, also it can be the master piece with the exaggeration, simplicity, succinctness, and perception.Within our soul and spirit, we have deep belief on auspicious culture, our expectation for life-long pursuit and good living is unlimited. We always wish "good luck" will follow us and do not hesitate to show it to other people. For decades, gifts given between the older generation and the young, parents and children, and lovers, this belief is thoroughly permeated with blessings. Especially the elders who was born between the1940s and1950s, received traditional education and had a strong heart for the nostalgia, they are the main customers of auspicious jewelry. They value most the good wishes attached to the jewelry. And nowadays, these jewelries still inherit the traditional patterns, expressing their value through the combination of auspicious elements and excellent work. When there is little development on the contemporary jewelry design, the traditional esthetics value together with the up-to-date esthetics development and its expression method were all paid great attention. |
