| Abstract | Osmanski nakit, koji se razvijao od 14. do 19. stoljeća, bio je odraz bogate kulturne tradicije i društvenih vrijednosti Carstva. Tijekom vladavine sultana Sulejmana Veličanstvenog, osmanski nakit doživljava svoj zlatni period, s naglaskom na izradu dragulja i zlata. Umjetnici iz različitih regija donosili su vlastite tehnike, stvarajući prepoznatljiv stil. Kroz različite tehnike, uključujući intarziju, emajliranje i filigran, stvarani su komadi iznimne ljepote koji su ukrašavali kraljevske portrete, odjeću i oružje. Dragulji su imali važnu simboličku ulogu, predstavljajući status i moć nositelja. U Topkapı palači čuvane su velike zbirke, uključujući zlatne i srebrne artefakte, koji su bili oblikovani sa smaragdima, rubinima i dijamantima. Kapalıçarşı je bio središte trgovinskog života Istanbula, gdje su majstori draguljari okupljani kako bi izrađivali razne vrste nakita nošene na tijelu, odjeći, cipelama, oružju i predmetima namijenjenim svakodnevnoj te ceremonijalnoj upotrebi. Umjetnost ukrašavanja zlatom i dragim kamenjem bitan je dio osmanske kulture čemu nam svjedoče preostali artefakti iz toga razdoblja. |
| Abstract (english) | Ottoman jewelry, which developed from the 14th to the 19th century, was a reflection of the rich cultural tradition and social values of the Empire. During the reign of Sultan Suleiman the Magnificent, Ottoman jewelry experienced its golden period, with an emphasis on the production of gems and gold. Artists from different regions brought their own techniques, creating a distinctive style. Through various techniques, including marquetry, enameling and filigree, pieces of exceptional beauty were created to adorn royal portraits, clothing and weapons. Jewels had an important symbolic role, representing the status and power of the wearer. Topkapı Palace housed large collections, including gold and silver artifacts, which were fashioned with emeralds, rubies, and diamonds. Kapalıcarşı was the center of Istanbul’s commercial life, where master jewelers gathered to create various types of jewelry worn on the body, clothing, shoes, weapons, and objects intended for everyday and ceremonial use. The art of decorating with gold and precious stones is an important part of Ottoman culture, as evidenced by the remaining artifacts from that period. |
