Design of Diamond Ring in Chinese Aesthetic: Taking Carat Round Diamond Ring as An Example

Nowadays, it is always concerned how to present the Chinese aesthetic in the modern jewelry design. In the papers, the authors chose 1 ct round diamond as research object, and traced back to the origin of Chinese aesthetic: traditional Chinese philosophical, by analyzing ideas of Confucianism and Taoism, seeking the essence of Chinese aesthetics, in order to provide new design ideas for modern jewelry designers. Based on the aesthetic view of Confucian "The Beauty of Neutralization" and Taoist "The Beauty of Nature", the authors abstracted the Chinese "experiential" aesthetic thought, and connected it with the modern diamond ring design. Through analyzing the diamond ring design examples, it was concluded that the "experiential" aesthetic thought can be communication channel to the Chinese aesthetic thought. The design of diamond rings can express Chinese aesthetic ideas and themes of love and marriage through weakening the edges of the lines, using the fluent shapes extracted from life experience, adding more craftsmanship and creating an atmosphere of love and marriage experience by elements. The authors believe that the special consumer psychology and emotional needs of Chinese consumers can also be recognized as a starting point.
