COLOURFUL SPARKLES
Statement jewellery
in diamond is a new
rage with all those
who want to stand
out in the crowd….

It is no more only
bohemian and stone
jewellery that is making
a statement with
women in the city.
Diamond and ruby
studded pieces are
making for a lot of wardrobe
jewellery selections.
Statement jewellery is
something that speaks for
the individuality of a person
who wears it. And yes it
takes courage and
confidence to carry out such
pieces.
Statement Pieces
Prakshi Sharma is a young
jewellery designer who is
making versatile feminine
pieces of jewellery, “Jewellery
has a way to evolve around the
sensibilities of the young
discerning customer. Today,
women in their 20s are
confident to carry away
diamond studded daily wear
pieces. They want to invest in
themselves and therefore take
their jewellery seriously. As you
age, your desires change the
shapes and sizes of diamonds
but the idea to stand out
remains at the price point.”
Sharma does standalone
earrings, rings, bracelets all set
“
This year the
trends would
include the novelty of
palm cuffs and elegant
stackable rings and
charm of diamond
chokers amongst the
fashion connoisseurs.’’

in diamond and ruby
only. Her pieces are
based out of traditional
motives given a modern
twist and extremely
customizable. She prides in that
and is popular for the same in
Dubai, London, USA and now in
India.
Colour Coordination
A piece of jewellery is also
coming with the advantage of a
modular setting. So here, one
can mix and match and break
and dismantle a single piece of
jewellery to hone different
looks. Speak to the Shehzad
Zaveri, Creative Director of
Minawala has evolved
according to the modern needs
of the jewellery market. Zaveri
shares, “Jewellery is no more
about simply a financial
investment. Women are
wishing to hone coordinated
pieces. Therefore, our line of
coloured stones has been
extremely popular with
statement pieces.” Choose
from a colourful collection of
vibrant rare gemstones that
are skillfully combined with
diamonds to give a dressy
style both of a formal as well
everyday setting.
Detach It
Detachable jewellery is
another way to create a style
statement and is becoming
extremely popular. Some years
back a Gurgaon based young IT
engineer had designed
pendant shaped pen drives for
women to dress up with. They
become a rage and a different
kind of statement jewellery.
Now, women are making more
out of real stones and rose gold
finishes.
It’s definitely the millennial
choice. So look at chokers that
turn into bracelets, bracelets
that contract into a ring, long
earrings that can be converted
into a pendant set, so on and
so forth. Today, jewellersare
customising such pieces to give
individuality to their jewels.
“
Detachable jewellery
is meant for those
who like to experiment,
prefer easy wear jewellery
and want their favourite
piece of transform when
they want.”
Shehzad Zaveri
“So there is assured returns on
their investment both of time
and money.” Detachable
jewellery is available at the
same price that serves multiple
purposes and won't burn a hole
in your pocket. s
