A diamond outlives you, and trends in jewelry outlive the trends in fashion.
Gold is by far the oldest and most versatile competitor in this market.
A few years back, yellow-gold jewelry had a setback and was not the preferred accessory for most fashion-savvy women. It’s back in 2012, with its old fervor.
Layered yellow gold ornaments are definitely an attention seeker.
You can expect to see bold & unexpected color combinations in gold and diamond jewelry, namely, cocktail rings, right hand rings, bracelets and choker-necklaces.
The Diamond Ring of Power
A single woman can buy herself a big, possibly antique-cut diamond ring for her right hand to symbolize her independence and power. The trend has been a rage in US for some years, and catching on in other countries as well.
Trends in India
Given the golden-hued complexion endowed by Indian sun, Indian women look stunningly beautiful in almost every ornament they adorn.
The difference between Indian trend and the west is immediately obvious when you see award ceremonies of both. While westerners concentrate more on flaunting one particular ornament, Indian ladies exhibit a plethora of every possible kind of jewelry.
The boundary is fast vanishing although. The Indian woman’s wardrobe has all kind of attires; from saris and salwar-kurtis to western dresses and formals. And each justifies its own type of jewelry.
Your Vintage jewels would never be out of fashion!
The vintage jewelry has always occupied a market niche of its own. It’s becoming more trendy to flaunt your vintage and classic hand-me-down type jewelry from your grandma.
Bridal & Wedding Bands
If you’re a would-be bride, I would suggest buying the attire first, and then custom-crafted stones for it; instead of doing vice-versa.
The marvelous thing that’s happened in the recent years is for guys to become more particular about their wedding rings. It’s not uncommon to see a couple getting their rings designed on request to display their hobbies and tastes. The golden guitar-ring and violin-ring and diamond- studded nuts-and-bolts type of ring are funky and remarkable on their own. It’s a subtle compliment on your individuality & style.
Good News! In 2012, less is more
Since we always end up spending more on the jewelry (thanks to the ever-rising inflation), this is indeed good news for women with a budge in mind.
You don’t have to spend a fortune on jewels. Nothing beautiful is outrageously expensive in jewels anymore.
Gone is the need for flamboyancy too. Instead of going in for a whole lot of jewels as accessory you can wear one bold piece of it, and show off your creativity.
A striking diamond bracelet (can be in white gold) on your bare hands will be more of an aphrodisiac, than all the accessories combined.
Summer Trends
Gone is the wedding and festival season. At the onset of summer and the sweltering heat, wave adieu to heavy pieces. It’s time for sleek new necklaces and earrings and bracelets to dazzle.
A mix of vintage with a contemporary flair is your best bet this season.
