Today, the millennial consumer wants complete control over the products he purchases as he is armed with a fearless purchasing power that no previous generations enjoyed. With the power, he has set his demands and the one that he strives for is customised products which allows him to put her individuality on his things. Be it handbags, clothes, or shoes; the millennials want everything stamped with their uniqueness. 

Even though jewellery has always been considered a personalised purchase, a bespoke commodity, over the years it has lost its value due to mass production and set design patterns. The swelling product lines offered affordability that previous generations loved. The very concept custom-made pieces violated, and thus long gone were the days of interchangeable elements, multiple wearability, and at best consumers engraved pieces with a little personal symbol or message to call it customised. 

However, with the new dawn, consumers are no longer afraid to demand what they want and willing to pay a price for it. This has enabled the personalised jewellery category to re-evolve, creating an ‘emotional connection’ to every piece designed. The easiest way to create this memory is to get name necklace for a loved one, which is unique yet not very complex to achieve. Personally, I love custom made jewellery from earrings to rings and necklaces, for good reasons, and I'm sure most of you will agree with me on this. 

Customisation 
A customised piece allows a wearer to use interchangeable elements like beads, charms, rings, etc to create a style that resonates with them. Even though the elements are usually manufactured on a large scale, no two individuals will use a similar combination to design a piece of jewellery, thus rest assured no two pieces will ever look the same and so the purchaser will always have a winner at hand.

Individualisation
A customised piece also allows the purchaser to add unique features to the piece such as name engraving, personal message, fingerprint, photograph or even DNA, that ties it forever to the wearer. Many brands these days also offer breastmilk jewellery, blood jewellery, placenta jewellery and much more, to make an occasion memorable and forever lasting.

Sentimental
A customised piece always involves a lot of thought, discussion and insights; which gives a clear background into a purchaser's character. A lot many people are involved from start to finish, checking options, looking at ideas from the new arrivals, and more; especially if they are looking to purchase star sign and birthstone jewellery.

Control
A customised piece gives complete control of the buying process to the purchaser. Not only is the person involved in buying, but also the selection of materials, shape and size of gemstones and above all the time duration and final cost. For example to get name necklace 1034 the purchaser will select fonts, discuss placement of a gemstone, deliberate the combinations depending on the total cost, etc. 

Subconscious everyone wants to own things that actually matter, and thus personalised jewellery is becoming popular and meaningful as love and precious memories never go out of fashion.

Jewellery is an integral part of the choices a woman makes, it is personal, it is prolific and yet it is what accentuates ‘her’. Making heads turn with opulent jewellery pieces is a relatively easy task, but the catch is to be subtle with your jewellery choices and yet be the cynosure of all eyes. Personally, I wear my heart on my sleeve and one statement piece of jewellery that perfectly reflects my inner spirit.
Must-Have Jewellery Pieces For The Modern Woman
Timeless Timepiece
When it comes to accessorising I vouch that nothing is more stylish and more timeless than a unique watch. Timepieces are my go-to statement pieces that I alternate between depending on the occasion, my mood and my outfit choices.

Personalised Necklace
When it comes to adorning the neck is very easy with personalised necklaces and pendants, as it takes my outfit to the next level. I’ve invested in a few caratlane gold necklaces that are traditional with a modern sleek design twist to bring out my personality.

Dressy Brooch
When it comes to attention-seeking, I think nothing works better than a dressy brooch in eye-catching colours and forms. The very fact that brooches serve a purpose while being complimentary of a variety of outfits makes them an instant winner.

Pearl Studs
When it comes to being classy yet stylish, I know nothing works better than pearls. A pair of pearl studs ooze out oodles of old-world charm and modern sophistication. I’ve picked pearl studs in understated hues of cream, blush and ocean blue to make them stand out.

Cocktail Ring
When it comes to making a bold statement, I’d grab a cocktail ring to dazzle. With unlimited design, metal and stone options, I will always manage to find cocktail rings that seem an extension to my personality and can be worn with practically any outfit. 

Mixing jewellery pieces too can be a lot of fun, however, I tend to keep a few pointers in mind to keep my look stylish yet subtle.

* Never let a piece overpower your personality
* Wear a statement piece and two others that compliment it
* Don’t clutter or stack pieces of jewellery, let each shine independently

So what is the one piece of jewellery that you vouch for? Let us know in the comments below. 

Until next time,

The fast-approaching wedding season brings to the fore hustling brides-to-be looking for the perfect bridal ensemble. The yearning to stun all eyes overwhelms the need to switch pause. It is absolutely not incomprehensible either as weddings are events that create memories for life, memories that are passed down to future generation as inspiration.

Jewellery forms one of the three core components of the wedding ensemble; bridal attire and footwear being the other two, and therefore it is not surprising to see brides on a lookout for the perfect jewellery to go with the rest of her attire. Amidst an all-consuming whirlwind of wedding preparation, we try to simplify the jewellery shopping experience by providing brides-to-be with a dictionary of necklaces along with tips on who should pick what.


Chokers
Measuring between 14 to 15 inches, chokers settle high on the neck. Women with swan necks should totally go for these as they enhance their look considerably. Women with shorter or wider necks should go for necklaces with a length of 18 inches and longer. The shape of your face is also a factor in determining whether or not a choker would be a good idea. Women with round faces should avoid chokers as they make their faces look rounder. Instead, they should opt for something that forms a V around the neck. Those with oval or heart shapes faces, on the other hand, can carry these really well.

Mango Haram
This neckpiece style originally belongs to the South Indians, the biggest patrons of Gold. While traditionally, mango harams are made exclusively of gold, contemporary designs do have gems embedded into it. The length varies, so depending on your torso and face cut, you can pick the one that suits you the best. Besides, these look outright gorgeous with silks and so if you are wearing a gorgeous Kanjeevaram for your wedding, nothing can beat the charm of Mango Harams.

Meshwork Jewellery
This style departs from the traditional style in a major way, however, the high chic quotient makes it a perfect pairing for rich and royal outfits. Depending on your taste and attire, you can choose from a touch of embellishments of valuable gemstones. Additionally Meshwork jewellery is complimentary with your western outfits; so you can team it up with your lehenga or your evening gown.

Rani Haar
As the name suggests, these necklaces impart a glorious touch to the overall look. Usually crafted in Kundan, it is embedded with emeralds and uncut diamonds. At Hazoorilal Polki Jewellers, you can find royalty imbued in every piece. The kind of Minakari and polishing required is often the domain of only the best craftsman.

Satlada
Woven with multiple sided filigree, the neckpiece is woven into seven layers of pearls or gems, the style is usually 30 to 35 inches long, beginning at the neck and working up to the navel. 

Styling for a wedding is a complex equation that combines personal choice with individuality. Since weddings are a lifetime affair, you must check out the latest Polki Jewellery designs, at jewellers in South Delhi. The area is known for its fine craftsmanship, often a product of legacies passed on to future generations, that never fails to stun in terms of design and durability. Since the right neckpiece can help you enhance your look considerably by highlighting your features and setting off against your skin tone choose your jewellery wisely with these tips.

Jewellery is a matter of personal choice, however, for me, it will always remain a symbol of love. #JewelMe does ring true when the first move towards commitment says, ‘Let’s Put a Ring on it’. And with the holiday season around the corner, there would be many promises and a little help to seal the deal with the right jewellery will be perfect. 

Diamond jewellery still rules the roost but it sure can be a costly affair; unless you really know how to buy diamond jewellery online instead of a waddle through numerous stores and boutiques. 


Pick Gold over Platinum 
The ground rule of colour is striking contrast and what better than sunshine golden hues of Gold than dull aching silvery Platinum. Also, Gold offers an additional benefit of price comparison and serves as an investment piece. 

Pick Clarity over Grade
There has been a lot of unnecessary hype about the grade and carat of diamonds, which to be honest is invisible to the eye. Opt for a diamond that looks great within the setting, is clear and tugs at your heartstrings. 

Pick Quantity over Quality
The cluster of minute diamonds over a huge rock is what to opt for; for it not only will be more pocket-friendly but also be available in numerous design options. A single huge rock after a point in time will lose its charm.

Pick Options over Selection
The advancement of technology and retail business has offered consumers an opportunity to buy diamond jewellery online in India and the biggest plus of this is the numerous options consumers can browse through before making the final selection.

So what’s stopping you, get online and browse through some of the most alluring online stores, just like I’m currently looking at some gorgeous Men’s Rings at #AlapattDiamonds.

Time passes in a jiffy. But a single look at the priceless piece makes memories appear like a yesterday affair. And why not? After all, it is not just your wedding ring, it is all those moments, coy smiles, dreamy eyes, hesitant glances and naughty tantrums are all sealed in that precious rock; it is an eternal bond. It is a time machine that transports you to the past so that you relive those vows time and again.



No wonder, your wedding ring is a treasure that deserves your care and attention. So keep the sheen of the rock intact with these simple and easy steps.

A Regular Care Can Do Wonders

Just like your relationship, the diamond rings also demand some moments of gentle care to keep it shimmering forever.  Give your rock the same love and affection you give your rock star. Put your precious jewellery in a degreasing solution almost every week to remove oil and dirt from the piece. Make this a practice as the secret to the long-lasting glitter lies in the regular care of the jewel.

A Gentle Touch Is a Must

The way an argument with your partner may turn into a heated altercation if not handled properly, diamond rings have the tendency to lose its gleam if not well cared for. So instead of using a harsh scrubbing brush, use a soft, lint-free cloth. It’s all about how you treat your relationship with your beloved diamond rings. The softer the touch, the brighter the spark.

Give It a Special Treatment

Akin to your relationship, your diamond jewellery is precious too. Both call for tender treatment and need to be handled with love. Just like you make your partner feel special with your attention, handle your diamonds with the same care. Remember, the shimmer of diamonds can get affected by the touch of your finger. So hold them delicately at the edges. 

Don’t Be a Spoilsport

What abusive words are to the relationship, harmful solutions are to diamonds. So the way you avoid harsh speech during a tiff with your partner, keep your favourite jewellery pieces away from abrasives and chlorine water. In order to keep your relationship with the diamonds last long, refrain from anything that can play a spoilsport.

It’s All About the Special Touch

Scratches on diamonds are like heartbreaks in a relationship. The way you prioritize your relationship and give it a special place in your heart., you need to be true to your darling diamonds too. They are precious and need to be stored exclusively in a jewellery box meant just for them.

Take Help of an Expert

Even after all the efforts, there may come a time when your relationship enters a rough patch (God forbid!). The same can happen with your diamond jewellery as the precious stones may come off the ornaments. Just like you fill the gaps in your relationship by taking the advice from your friends and counsellors, similarly, let your love for diamond rings and jewellery last forever with the help of professional experts. By tightening the loose ends, professional jewellers help lacklustre diamonds regain their lost gleam. In fact, jewellery sites like CaratLane.com offer 100% certified diamond jewellery with lifetime exchange, so this is nothing much to worry about. 

The key to your long-lasting relationship with diamonds lies in their gentle care and love. You need not do anything extraordinary, but treat your diamonds as dearly as you treat your partner. In fact, we say, go ahead love your diamonds more than your beau and see him turn green with envy!
