In the development of contemporary jewelry design, weaving crafts also have new appearances and attempts. Traditional and modern collisions have sparked new sparks. The combination of ancient techniques and new materials, the combination of new methods and old materials, may bring a wonderful feeling. This article is a summary of the application and development of woven crafts in jewelry design.
    The woven process, as the oldest process, has a deep connection with jewelry at the beginning of the origin of human beings, and has been applied to jewelry processing and design by people from early early. To this day, weaving technology has not only seen everywhere in people's daily life, but also has a new form in art development. For example, the concept of "fiber art" is rooted in ancient weaving art. It refers to the use of various fibers as materials and use traditional or modern craftsmanship to create plane or three -dimensional art, which is a unified manifestation of practicality and ornamental.

    . The materials used in the weaving process in jewelery design

    (1) Rope line
    More common, for example, China uses a large number of rope lines with different materials and thickness to weave, combined with different rope line colors to prepare different beautiful decorations with different meaning. The advantages of rope line weaving are low cost, simple weaving method, short time, and soft control. The disadvantage is that it cannot be stored for a long time.

The precious metal materials are gold, silver, platinum, etc. Non -precious metal materials are copper, zinc, iron, aluminum and its alloy materials. Among them, gold, silver, and platinum are indispensable materials in the design of jewelry design. Due to their sparse content, good thermal resistance, high stability, and easy preservation, it has been an ideal jewelry material for thousands of years, such as jewelry woven technology Among them, gold, silver, various "K gold" (22K, 18K, 14K, 10K) and so on. For example, in Figure 1, this ring is used to weaving processes. Because the hardness of gold and silver is not high, it is conducive to hand -woven production molding. However, because of the characteristics of high hardness, other "K gold" is much more difficult in hand -woven production of jewelry.
