What is religious jewelry? As the name suggests, it is jewelry related to religion. There are many kinds of religions in the world, but in general, we are familiar with the three major religions, namely Buddhism, Christianity, and Islam. These three religions can become the world's top three religions because they are currently the only three religions in the world that are listed as state religions by some countries. Among the three major religions, Christianity is the largest, followed by Islam, and Buddhism is the last. Among them, representing Christianity is mostly a cross, representing Islam is the star and the moon, representing Buddhism with many beads, gold cards, amulets, and mahogany. Therefore, these symbols representing religious significance are naturally incorporated into the jewelry design.

Jewelry and religion have a long history, and those ancient symbols of faith are the most sacred protection of human beings, and the eternal soul is attached. It is because of religion that jewelry can evolve from ordinary pebbles into a charm carrier with spiritual temptation.

Religious jewelry has always been a force to be reckoned with in art jewelry and has become a powerful link between art and religion. The relationship between art and religion has a long history and is inextricably linked. Jewelry art, as a form of art, has a natural advantage in expressing religious subjects. Religion and art have been developed for thousands of years, and they are constantly changing and self-adjusting as society changes. However, it is not difficult to find out through the development process of its changes. The religious spirit and religious concepts conveyed by jewelry have not disappeared. Instead, the tempering of the years has become more profound and relevant. With the continuous improvement of social productivity and the affluence of life, it is necessary to pay attention to the needs of people's spiritual life while creating a large amount of material wealth. At this time, religious jewelry art is once again the key to solving problems for jewelry designers. Since jewelry art has favorable conditions for expressing personal beliefs, ideal appeals, and good wishes, integrating religious spirit into modern art jewelry design is a shortcut to enrich the modern human spiritual world. At the same time, through the rational grasp of religion and the perceptual cognition of religious spirit, as well as the scientific understanding of art jewelry design, explore and design excellent art jewelry that conforms to the current human aesthetic sense and spiritual appeal. Let science solve "truth", religion solves "good", and art solves "beauty" and other issues.
