ABSTRACT

The Forbidden City in Beijing, China, served as the imperial palace and was a significant political and cultural center during the Ming and Qing dynasties. The complex architectural structure and artistic, symbolic elements of the Forbidden City continue to inspire modern artists and designers. However, there has been relatively little research on developing jewelry designs inspired by the Forbidden City, particularly in terms of color, form, and other elements. This study selected six major buildings from the Forbidden City and analyzed their exteriors and patterns, creating sketches based on this analysis. The colors were analyzed using the HSB color model. The research used the analyzed forms (double-eaved hipped roof, double-eaves gable and hip roof, and single-eaved hipped roof with four ridges), decorations (dragon patterns, three intersecting six-petal lattice), and color differences, the Hall of Supreme Harmony bracelet, Hall of Preserving Harmony earrings, and Hall of Central Harmony ring were completed. The study reinterprets the historical value and artistic beauty of the Forbidden City through contemporary jewelry design, presenting a new design paradigm that harmonizes tradition and modernity.
