Study on Preserving and Capturing Moments Applied in Jewelry

Abstract

Study on Preserving and Capturing Moments Applied in Jewelry concentrates on seizing the still moment conceived by natural surroundings. Continuously, one is met with moments that focuses and becomes captivated, especially in a glimpse of an eye. Preserving and Capturing have been one of the basic yearnings in a person. As time elapses, objects or memories are preserved and cherished. In those moments there are sudden ruptures or decisive moments in which one could capture the moment. In such way this research categorizes the relation between the two subjects. This research focuses to identify and study the action in preserving and capturing in addition to application to jewelry. The distinction for both actions is that in preserving the objects original form maintained by usually enclosing the object

while in capturing, the focus is more on the visual image of the object that its original form. Through the two categories, the use of materials and methods could be assorted due to the use of different materials throughout the research. While the Preservation of moments ultimately uses organic elements (seedlings, dandelion) and processes are planned, captivation of moments focusses more on inorganic elements (dental plaster and jesmonite) as well as experimental processes. By categorizing the relation between preserving and capturing, it is intended to integrate these subjects into jewelry with applying various materials.
