What Women Really Like About Jewellery

Next time you attend a wedding or a party what would you like to wear? Once the dress has been chosen there is no doubt that the accessories complete the overall look.

Would you like to wear that intricate traditional piece passed down from generations? Or would you consider sporting something more contemporary? It might take some time and energy, but isn't it worth the effort if you could find that one piece that not just accentuates your looks, but defines you for what you are.

Historically, jewellery has always been more than just another decorative piece. It has defined one's rich heritage, tradition and most importantly stands testimony to the glorious past. But lately it has undergone an interesting change. It has come to define a woman for her innate sensibility. It has come to portray her for what she is, rather than make her play canvas to a design. Jewellery has come to express a woman's personality. It's gone personal. It has come of age, or almost so.

"Women increasingly seem to appreciate contemporary designs,” Jeremy Kanzen of Millennium Gems stated about the emerging jewellery trend.

There is, however, a niche crowd market for off-beat jewellery and the trend sure is catching momentum. With an emerging cosmo population that is well-travelled and open to change, the trend speaks volumes about the slow but steady change in the modern woman's psyche.

Most designers feel that women should understand that jewellery is more than just great design. ''Jewellery has to make you look good, rather than outshine you. Many women just pick up something because their families want them to wear a particular design or a certain gram. And many a times it just does not suit them. Often chubby shortnecked women go for chokers and dusky women go for gold finish when a matte look would have been better on them,'' a designer explains.
