“...In any nation where peace and tranquility are absent, constant conflict and strife must be endured. In such a nation, people do not care about the fine arts or creating beautiful works. However, in any nation that is prosperous and peaceful, free from overwhelming enemies and war, the people will value and engage in the fine arts, creating works that are splendid and elegant to adorn their society...”
This is a composition by Seveka-Viswakarma, authored by His Majesty King Vajiravudh, King Rama VI, which speaks about art as something beautiful that brings pleasure to those who behold it. These artworks are indicators of the prosperity of each era, often inspired by nature and traditional beliefs. Thai gold ornaments are considered ancient art, symbolizing social hierarchy. However, in the past, it was not only the upper class that used gold; common people also used it for savings or as dowries. Additionally, using gold to make jewelry such as necklaces, belts, bracelets, and rings has been a traditional method of saving since ancient times. When these beautiful items are accumulated, they provide aesthetic value and emotional satisfaction, beyond their practical utility.
