Trends in Jewellery 2013

For us Indians, gold and jewellery has always been something that has symbolised prosperity and stability of a person, family or community. Since ancient times the amount of jewellery people used to wear indicated power they held in the feudal hierarchy. People have worn jewellery for visual pleasure as well as for asserting their image as a distinguished member of the society.

That being said, the styles of jewellery like all other fashion trends, has changes over time. Shifting focus from the heavy gold laden kings and queens the world today is mostly of the view that minimalistic display of ornaments is the in-thing. Also, loud jewellery is now a thing of either the past or is adorned by specific communities.

Over the years, the focus has shifted from gold to silver and slowly to platinum, diamonds and other precious stones. It is more about fashion in the world today. In many ways, it is the celebrities who set the style trends. Their looks, jewellery included, are watched, judged and often copied. 

Over the past few years, diamonds have continued to stay a girl’s best friends. The coloured stones are also very much in the lime light. The main event of the year is the glorious comeback of the classic yellow diamond, having a leading position in the majority of fashion collections.

The other colour hues are also enjoying a great popularity as well. If precious stones are beyond your means, don’t hesitate to pay your attention to semi-precious stones, such as tourmaline, peridot, aquamarine. 

As far as big brands go, here are the top trends you can incorporate in your jewellery and accessory closet-

1. Serpent style - 2013 is year of the snake in Chinese zodiac and its curving, slithering shape is the design inspiration for big jewellery brands. Bulgari's latest campaign with Rachel Weizs showcases some stunning snake shape pieces. Snake shaped jewellery is available at various prices.

2. Sharp edges - Angular cuts and shapes and sharp edges reminiscent of the tribal style are another big trend for jewellery this year.

3. Emerald, Drusy and Agate stones - Diamonds are forever, but for Spring 2013 jewellery made with emeralds and druzy stones and agate rock formations is a big trend. The white agate and druzy are especially beautiful with gold metal.

4. Big jewellery pieces - This trend is carrying over from 2012 to 2013. Oscar de la Renta, Dolce & Gabbana, Versace and Gucci - all had big chunky jewellery pieces in their Spring 2013 collection and this trend is going to be here for some time to come.

5. Rose gold - From rings to bracelets to watches, rose gold is versatile in its usage and styling and this delicately hued alloy is one of the major trends for fine jewellery for Spring 2013.
