Jasmine flower, jewelry, wedding, cultural identity, BetawiAbstract
Traditional wedding jewelry represents a cultural identity in Indonesian society, especially in the Betawi tradition. Jasmine flower ornaments have served as visual and symbolic elements in Betawi bridal jewelry, but contemporary influences have increasingly overshadowed their cultural significance. This research aims to analyze the social interpretation and visual representation of jasmine flowers in terms of shape and structure, confirming that the jasmine flower shape is an important and essential element in Betawi wedding jewelry. This study uses a qualitative approach through observation and literature review, supported by the Triangulation Method in the writing, interpretation, and analysis process. Findings show that jasmine flower ornaments enhance aesthetic refinement while symbolizing fragrance, purity, harmony, tenderness, stability, and readiness for marriage. A significant new finding reveals that jasmine serves as a cultural marker that strengthens moral and social values. The study concludes that jasmine ornaments preserve the continuity of Betawi culture. This study recommends maintaining jasmine ornaments as a cultural standard.
