基督教文化在英国珠宝首饰设计中的映射:以英国珠宝品牌Stephen Webster的“七宗罪”系列作品为例

Reflection of Christian Culture in Jewelry Design:A Case Study of“Seven Sins”in British Jewelry Brand Stephen Webster

文化是创造力的重要源泉。作为西方万众敬仰核心,基督教文化的影响力已经渗透到社会生活的方方面面,珠宝首饰的设计理念也是其所属文化的衍生物。英国珠宝设计师Stephen Webster以基督教教义经典《圣经》中的"七宗罪"为主题,将基督教理念具象化,成功设计出一系列既满足了目标消费者对另类造型需求的作品,又有着训诫和提示意义的珠宝设计作品。这些设计对当代中国珠宝设计者如何合理、有效的传承创新中国民族文化,设计并创造出具有中国文化特色的珠宝设计作品有一定的借鉴意义。

Culture is the source of creativity. As the core of Christianity, Christian culture has exerted its great influence on all aspects of the social life. Some concepts of jewelry de- sign are also derivatives of it. The British jewelry designer, Stephen Webster, has been en- lightened by Seven Sins of Doxies of Christianity and created series of jewelries which not only satisfy special clients of particular demand, but also admonish others. At the same time, western design style can also inspire Chinese jewelry designers to learn from the traditional culture and innovate it, thus in this way, contributions can be done to Chinese jewelry design.
