Abstract

Ceramic jewelry has evolved from simple terracotta forms to diverse products made from stoneware and porcelain, featuring various glazes, forms, and decorative techniques. Its distinctive colors, textures, and handcrafted qualities have made it increasingly popular, particularly among young consumers. However, limited design diversity and insufficient integration with other materials have constrained its commercial development. This study examines the characteristics, colors, techniques, production processes, advantages, and limitations of ceramic materials in jewelry design. It also proposes solutions involving technological application, professional designer training, product diversification, market expansion, and stronger connections between ceramic jewelry production, traditional craft villages, and tourism development.

Keywords: Ceramic materials, design, jewelry.
