貴妃鐲

手鐲原為古時的臂環,是男女都可以佩戴的飾物,經過歷史演變,才逐漸成為了現今女仕戴在纖纖手腕上的秀氣配飾。中國傳統有「天圓地方」之說,「圓」象徵完 滿、完整、乃至於天地永恆的法則,所以手鐲這傳統飾物的造形都以圓形為主,尤其是翡翠手鐲。相傳直到唐朝,才有所謂「貴𨥈鐲」的出現。貴妃鐲子呈橢圓形,一般是外圓內平,跟手腕天然的形狀很相近,所以佩戴起來更貼服,據說創製這鐲子造型的正是一代美人楊貴妃。據史料描述,楊貴妃不但花容月貌,而且精通音律,能歌擅舞,還善於彈奏琵琶。喜歡藝術的唐玄宗視她為自己的知音,對她寵愛有加。有一次,唐玄宗提議集合中國和西域樂器開一場音樂會,楊貴妃為了隆重其事,命工匠禦制造型特別的橢圓形手鐲,彰顯其高貴和與別不同的身份,還即席載著鐲子演奏琵琶,神彩煥發。自此以後,橢圓形的手鐲便得到貴妃鐲的美名。

由於翡翠鐲子中間是挖空,所以在各類翡翠珠寶中是最費料的一種,原石材特別要求不能有明顯的綹裂和瑕疵,造出來的手鐲才夠堅實。因此,要打磨一隻滿綠又完全沒有明顯內含物的手鐲實在是極稀有的事,如果還要求有一定的厚度,那就更加難得。貴妃鐲因為呈橢圓形,所以在加工方面也相對複雜,無論在切割和拋光方面都講究工匠的高超的技藝和經驗,貴妃手鐲絕對是中國古代巧匠智慧的結晶。
