The research aim is to create an innovative, creative and unique jewelry based on batik
pattern of Kraton of Yogyakarta. The output in the first year are documentation of geometric,
non geometric pattern and innovative jewelry design as the results of batik pattern of Kraton of
Yogyakarta and silver jewelry using Kotagede’s own technique.
Method used on this research namely library method, observation, interview and
analysis of qualitative data which represented descriptively as well as experimentation using
some sketches. We also apply some possibility using alternative material such as semi precious
stone, shell and pearl. Moreover the benefit expected from this research is to endorse the
creative industry in Indonesia, especially to foster the jewelry production at Kotagede as the
silver center, that no longer active due to some barriers, such as unattractive design.
Some sketches as the result of experimentation and chosen design will be produced in
the second year.
