Abstract

The application of nature in traditional Malay jewellery motifs has been practiced since time immemorial as the main element of decoration and design variations. In this study, the traditional jewellery chosen is dokoh, one of the favourites of the Malays worn on the neck with kebaya. This study aims to identify the application of natural elements in design motifs in Malaysia. Qualitative research involving observation, description, and composition analysis are applied using a formal analytical approach. This research helps to preserve Malaysia's heritage and become a reference for future generations regarding extrinsic and intrinsic values.
