The Tang Dynasty is a relatively rich era in history, so a variety of jewelry is also very common during the Tang Dynasty. Whether it is a high-ranking official or a commoner, they all wear a variety of jewelry on their heads, and the materials of jewelry are also very diverse, common ones are gold, silver, jade, copper and iron.
At that time, the most popular headdress or gold jewelry of noble ladies, a variety of gold jewelry appeared in an endless stream, and the gold jewelry made of gold was of superior texture and very shiny, whether it was from the level of collection value or from the decorative level, it was very good. In the Tang Dynasty, there was also a kind of jewelry called the head hairpin, which was very exquisitely designed and very characteristic of the Tang Dynasty, allowing the wearer to easily stand out from the crowd.
This pearl-encrusted tiara is 8.3 cm wide and 11.5 cm high. The lower part of the tiara is made of gold pieces crossed, and the top is covered with a round table made of gold, and the outside of the round table is also surrounded by a large number of flower branches. Beautiful gold and silver leaf are dotted on the petals to make the petals look more delicate, and the middle of the petals is inlaid with rounded pearls, which also adds a little elegance to the headdress. On the top of the headdress is also designed a golden butterfly butterfly, making the shape of the wings, the butterfly's eyes are also embellished with pearls, looking lifelike, the production and design of this crown are very exquisite.
During the Ming Dynasty, the headdresses and jewelry worn by noble ladies were very exquisite, and Empress Xiaoduan had a very famous phoenix crown. The crown was studded with hundreds of red gemstones and 5,000 lustrous pearls. In terms of materials alone, the value of this phoenix crown is immeasurable, and this nine dragon nine phoenix crown is a symbol of filial piety. When she was alive, she was the emperor's favorite woman, and the only empress who was personally crowned by the emperor in the current dynasty, and this phoenix crown was created at that time, so it has a special significance, witnessing the sincere love between Empress Xiaoduan and Myeongjinzong.
In addition to the precious materials it selects, the process used by the phoenix crown is also very complex, integrating inlays and dotting processes, which is now collected by the state and is listed as one of the jewelry prohibited from being exhibited abroad.
The reason why it is forbidden to exhibit abroad is because it is a rare and rare work, it has a complex process that is difficult to reproduce, and its market value is immeasurable. In order to protect it, to avoid damage during transportation, and to prevent theft, it can only be stored in the National Museum, quietly placed in the museum for people to enjoy.
As one of the few gold jewelry treasured by the museum, this gold noodle also has its own superiority. This gold noodle fully demonstrated the jewelry production process of the Tang Dynasty at that time, its production methods and styles were very popular at that time, and was sought after by many women, but this gold noodle was not something that all women could wear, at that time, it was a symbol of status and status, and only noble women could wear it.
And it is made of pure gold that ordinary ordinary people can't afford to wear. I have to say that the design of the gold nobile is still very clever, the shape and pattern on it are very eye-catching, and it is also inlaid with a pure pink tourmaline, three-dimensional carving and design, which also makes this gold nobile look more designed.
In addition to the headdress, the pair of earrings above are also very special. Now in the museum's collection, this earring has a strong era characteristics, and the overall shape is more unique. The earrings are decorated with spherical cutouts and the bottom is set with pearls and other gemstones, making the color blend very cleverly. The pearl under the earring and the pearl above also echo each other, and the overall degree of integration is high. The shape of the earrings is more exaggerated, and a variety of small beads are delicately inlaid together, which also adds a bit of brilliance to the pair.
The Tang Dynasty was a dynasty that loved beauty, especially the "noble ladies" of the Tang Dynasty, many of whom had extravagant jewelry. Since the Tang Dynasty, the court jewelry of ancient China has its own characteristics, constituting a colorful Chinese jewelry culture.
