Abstract

Having served as the capital of Tsarist Russia for two hundred years until the Bolshevik Revolution in 1917, the second biggest city of Russia and her gate to Europe, St Petersburg is the city full of historical buildings of fantastic architecture with its historical texture. Because of its historical and cultural significance, St. Petersburg is in UNESCO’s List of World Heritage Sites.On one side, there we have St. Petersburg, a fascinating city, the subject of Dostoyevsky’s novels, with cathedrals, churches, palaces, bridges, statues, and museums, housing rich cultural and historical heritage; on the other side, there we see jewels, reflecting the soul of women and embellishing their bodies.With this study, inspired by the authenticity and the city’s architectural pattern, innovative designs have been created via advanced 3D modeling technology. Thus, it was aimed that the beauty of the grandeur of history could be utilized as accessories, gaining a new functionality and transferring the cultural heritage values from local to universal level.Practical Research Methods have been adopted as a research methodology. The sampling of the study has been limited to the embellishments reflecting the architectural texture of St. Petersburg, as an inspirational resource for jewelry modelling. In planning the study, the stages of analysis, synthesis, selection and modelling of jewelry designs have been taken into account.
