Bold, Minimal, Wearable: Modern Woman’s Jewellery Box That Stays Out Of The Locker
By Disha Shah
Women in India have grown up admiring the jewellery worn by their grandmothers and mothers, but never really wanted to wear them. Ever wondered why? The design and traditional motifs used in those pieces do not resonate with our lifestyle, taste and preferences today. As much as they love the idea of fine jewellery, these pieces are not something that today’s women actually wear.
The women of today lean more towards modern aesthetics and designs that aren’t merely made to wear on big occasions and to sit in the locker. And as the jewellery industry progresses towards providing stylish and wearable jewellery for women, it is important to balance it with what women want and what is durable too.
Incorporating modern design while keeping it wearable is absolutely essential. Replacing traditional motifs such as petals and flowers and adding a modern and classic twist to them makes a world of a difference!
Minimalistic And Comfortable
Designs that can be replaced with a more minimalistic approach works better to make it more wearable. A single diamond pendant could be paired with a dainty yet sturdy chain to give the diamond the attention it deserves instead of pairing it with a chunky chain — like in the photo above in which the model can be seen channeling the off-duty look with star-inspired layered necklaces for a casual yet put-together look.
Break The Monotony
An engagement ring with a bigger diamond could be made on a daintier band to make it comfortable to wear every day and prevent your fingers from swelling up. Such examples of designing jewellery balances both the modernity and wearability. It’s true, the more ways you can wear one piece the more of a value-buy it is! The chances of your jewellery staying out of the locker is much higher too and incorporating the designs into your everyday look is more seamless. So, go with bold rings to elevate your everyday style.
Complete Your Evening Look
If a jewellery design is both modern and wearable but not affordable it will not be accessible to many. Keeping this in mind, it is essential to work with materials that are slightly more affordable yet do not compromise on the luxury aspect of it. One such example is lab-grown diamonds. These diamonds are a sustainable option that also don’t burn a hole in your pocket. For example, these sleek statement earrings are not only luxurious and lasting but also durable to wear every day.
Add Modern Aesthetic To Classics
Classic and stylish designs are what the women of today yearn for, but adding meaning to those pieces is what they will cherish forever. Whether it’s jewellery designs with initials, star signs or even an engraving, there is a connection that is formed with the piece. Taking an already meaningful piece like a mangalsutra and adding a modern aesthetic to it also ensures that it will be worn multiple times instead of becoming a keepsake. Minimal mangalsutras are one such example of a popular category within the modern women of today.
Regardless of whichever jewellery design you opt for, the top priority always remains in the piece you absolutely love and wouldn’t mind wearing multiple times. Modern classics are your best bet but make sure they are wearable and an affordable luxury you can pass down for the generations to come.
