During the Ming and Qing dynasties, various colored gemstones entered China through cross-border trade, and inlaid gemstone jewelry gradually became a trend. The twelve dragons and nine phoenix crowns of Empress Xiaojing of the Ming Dynasty, unearthed from Dingling in Beijing, are one of the only four remaining Ming Dynasty phoenix crowns in China, using the most exquisite technique of inlaying pearls and gemstones with jade dots at that time. This phoenix crown is made of lacquered bamboo tied into a hat, with 8 golden dragons on the front, 5 golden phoenixes below, 4 golden dragons on the back, and 2 golden phoenixes on each side. Both the dragon and phoenix hold jewelry bracelets, with emerald clouds and leaves inserted between them. The entire crown is adorned with over 100 natural gemstones and over 3500 pearls. The gemstones are evenly distributed, with different shapes and bright colors. This exhibition is its first exhibition away from Beijing, allowing the audience to have a glimpse of the top-notch craftsmanship produced by the Ming Dynasty palace. Since the 17th and 18th centuries, a large number of Chinese artworks have been exported overseas, bringing new creativity and inspiration to European decorative art with Eastern aesthetic taste and artistic style. European jewelry designers have created many works with Chinese charm, with jade being the most abundant. In the 1920s, French jewelry brand Cartier launched a fan-shaped brooch, mainly made of jade, with a strong Eastern flavor. A French gold powder box in the collection of the Liangyi Museum in Hong Kong, with a black enamel border and jade inlaid on the lid, featuring a relief image of the story of a carp jumping over the dragon gate. The peacock has a beautiful meaning in Eastern culture and is the national bird of India. During the late 19th and early 20th centuries of the Art Nouveau movement, peacocks became a beloved design element among European artists. In the exhibition, there is a particularly exquisite peacock feather decoration, which is set with 1742 diamonds as a whole. The head and tail are carved with enamel craftsmanship, restoring the dazzling colors of the peacock. In 1905, Indian Grand Duke Jajagit Singh ordered this peacock feather ornament at a jewelry store in Paris, France, and later gifted it to a Spanish girl named Anita Delgado who fell in love at first sight. This treasure is a product of the fusion of Eastern and Western cultures, and also witnesses a love story that transcends national borders and social classes. (Le Xin She) (Liu Yuguo)
