| Abstract | ||
| The art of Arabic calligraphy has accompanied the Arab Islamic civilization from its beginning until now, as it reflects both philosophical and civilizational dimensions, and its writings represent an important element in artistic contributions, as Islamic art is distinguished from other arts by using writings as a basic decorative element because of its plasticity, flexibility and diversity. The handicrafts that were inspired by Arabic calligraphy emerged from the strong desire of the Arab artist to adhere to originality and return to its roots, and Arabic calligraphy has been addressed in modern art in a new way that differs from what it was before as what was used in the past in terms of tools, materials, concepts and ideas can now be dealt with in a contemporary way that is compatible with the requirements of the modern era and takes into account the continuous development in the artistic movement, and contemporary artists are still searching for what’s new, so what was an intellectual and expressive heritage can now be studied with a new vision and concepts that fit the nature of the current era. The research aims to find new design formulas for metal jewellery, and to invest the plastic characteristics and capabilities of the Arabic Kufic calligraphy in enriching the aesthetics of metallic ornaments, and to combine the aesthetics of the Kufic calligraphy with the aesthetics of jewelry design, as well as opening new horizons for creativity and innovation in the field of jewelry design. | ||
