Islamic geometric decorations as a source of modern ceramic jewelry design

Abstract EN

Research Summary: Islamic art is of great interest especially from the designers of modern times, as it includes all products of applied arts and architecture, but how different civilizations are approached together through using the Islamic geometrical decorations in designing the ceramic jewelry and do the Islamic geometrical decorations give various design solutions in the field of modern ceramic jewelry? .

Hence the idea of the research is using Islamic geometric decorations as a source of modern ceramic jewelry design that consistent to modern design trends, which underlines the importance of the role of the arts in promoting cultural exchange among different civilizations.

The Islamic decorations characterized by its various motifs, including Islamic geometric designs, which have many characteristics such as repetition, continuity and symmetry in a regular system of geometric shapes in an endless repetition which show the beauty of architecture and applied art products.

Jewelry is of particular importance to different societies and civilizations since the dawn of history, it has many studies of design, technology and marketing, the ceramic jewelry has many technical and aesthetic features that make it a good area of creativity.

The Research objectives are giving creative design solutions of the Islamic geometric decorations to produce modern ceramic jewelry, linking between different civilizations through using Islamic geometric decorations on the modern jewelry and highlighting the aesthetics of the Islamic geometric decorations and its role in developing the modern designs.

The research assumes that the usage of the geometrical Islamic decorations enables to create ceramic jewelry designs suits the modern era and the ceramic jewelry that results from using the geometrical Islamic decorations and modern designs can play an important role in cultural exchange between various civilizations.

To achieve the research objectives, this methodology was followed the experimental analytical approach through clarification to the terms of the research by studying of some Islamic geometric decorations, the study of the modern designs in the ceramic jewelry and presenting some conceptual and experimental proposals for the use of geometric Islamic decorations in the design of modern ceramic jewelry.
