Gemstone Jewellery
July 12, 2008
No country loves her jewellery or is as famous for it as the sub-continent of India! The oldest fashion accessory in the world, gemstones and jewellery has held civilisation captive. Its’ popularity never wavers though the materials it is fashioned out of, are constantly changing. Whether, your necklaces, earrings, bracelets, pendants or nose pins are made of gold, silver, platinum, white metal etc. one thing never changes i.e. there will always be gemstone jewellery or jewellery embellished and studded with the rich hues, colours and sparkle of gemstones. While, there are classic trends and passing fads in jewellery, cabochons, gemstone pendants etc. will always be a part of bridal jewellery.
Richly coloured rubies, emeralds, diamonds, sapphires, opals, amethysts fashioned into jewellery are as popular as plain gold and silver sets. One has so much fun matching the colours of the gemstone with that of the clothes you are wearing, from necklaces to pendants to earrings to bracelets. However, while gemstones are loved for their rich colours that enrich and brighten up plain gold or silver jewellery, astrology has also made them very popular. Whilst, many wear them for their sheer beauty and the fashion conscious opt for elegant gemstone jewellery to complement their clothes, there are those who wear the stone ascribed as their birth stone or for astrological benefits derived from wearing certain gemstones. Think of Amitabh Bachhan and his two sapphire rings, or just look at Bappi Lahiri’s gem encrusted fingers.
Fashion may decide what is in or what is out, with fine jewellery in bold designs and rich colours leading the way, however, a niche for more traditional and classic looks still exists. Gemstones in classic settings and vintage designs, cabochons, available in unusual tongue, sugar loaf, bullet, double cab and various other shapes are considered this season’s trend. Set in pink gold in traditional as well as modern designs, bridal jewellery usually has the timeless appeal of classic looks. The lively colours of gemstones matched with diamond accents are a popular choice and one can always find gemstone jewellery to match your taste, budget and lifestyle.
Gemstone jewellery comes in so many vivid colours and bold designs, with such a spectacular range to choose from, it can prove to be quite an uphill task to choose a perfect ring, pendant, ear-rings or bracelet. Luxurious, feminine, and sensual, gemstone jewellery appeals to the eye, no matter your age or your geographic location! Peardrop diamond earrings or square cut emeralds set within a blaze of diamonds, rubies like drops of blood accenting your cleavage, gemstone jewellery adds more than colour, it gives an aura of glamour!
