Kenneth Jay Lane
Is Designer jewellery important
Is it very peculiar to ponder the importance of jewellery? For centuries it was worn as a symbol of status and wealth yet now days has been downgraded to nothing more than an accessory. From glitzy cocktail rings to the Tiffany or Cartier real thing, jewellery is being produced on mass faster than you can say ‘Bling’. So surely you would think jewellery sales are booming? In fact Bulgari reported a first quarter lost for the first time in a decade this year whilst Tiffany profits plunged 62%. So in these frugal times is it fair to say that jewellery is merely an accessory that is not necessary?
Personally I have always been drawn to jewellery from simple pearl earrings, unusual pendants and chunky bangles. Picking up one of a kind rings and trinkets from my travels that never fail to start a conversation; silver plated necklaces from Thailand, Opal earrings from Australia. At the same time there’s something irresistibly alluring about brushing back your hair to reveal a pair of Kenneth Jay lane crystal drop earrings, or picking up a glass with an intricate Alex Monroe ring wrapped around your finger. Although you may not consciously choose your jewellery with your outfit, those gap year bracelets around your wrists and silver ring that is practically part of your finger create an impression just as much as the clothes you have chosen to wear. To an extent jewellery chooses you and refuses to let you abandon it, from your grandmother’s ring to that infectious charm bracelet that’s becomes an overwhelmingly sentimental item. Loosing your favourite Tee Shirt is nothing compared to loosing your favourite ring. So how do you distinguish the sentimental wearer from the obstinate? Did that woman set out to accessorize that black dress with a string of pearls? Or did she just throw them on like she does with every other outfit? Being able to answer that question is remarkably revelatory of a person’s character.
Take my friend Alice she’s a very LK Bennet shoes, Ralph Lauren jumpers sort of girl and I suppose it wouldn’t be shocking to tell you that she doesn’t wear bold statement necklaces or hoop earrings but her small barley noticeable diamond studs are an instant indicator of her personality. She is not extravagant but elegant, she cares about her image but she is not vain, she is not loud and proud but has an inner confidence that shines demurely like the carats in her studs. However put her diamond earrings on a man and it’s a completely different story. Although it would be wise to follow the words of William Morris in that ‘not on one strand are all life's jewels strung’ it is just as important to consider your jewellery when you consider your outfit after all where would Goths be without metal studs, Sloane’s without Links Charm Bracelets and Trend Hunters without bangles.
