Make sure the jewellery you are buying suits you and your lifestyle.   One of the amazing things about gold is simply its versatility.    While other products date and fade, gold jewellery makes an endless statement of quality and personal style.   Never failing to turn heads – gold is the real thing, anything else just will not do! Whether you choose designs inspired by the historic splendour of ancient gold jewellery that is priceless, enduring and evocative or you are building up your gold jewellery wardrobe with easy to wear, always in fashion classic designs, you will find the perfect piece to suit your mood and personality.  

 

POPULAR GOLD CARATAGES

 

PAGE TWO:

 

Caratage is an important factor in buying gold jewellery.   It indicates the percentage of real gold in any piece of jewellery.   The preference for a certain caratage of gold is usually based on cultural, regional or traditional factors.   For example, 22 carat gold is predominately used in India, while 21 carat gold is preferred in the Middle East.   Most Europeans prefer 18 carat gold.   24 carat gold, pure gold, is predominately used in the Far East, and is used as a mode of investment or exchange.

While care must be taken to choose the cartage of gold you are looking for from a reputable jeweller, you should be equally certain that the jewellery you choose will look good on you.   If you are buying a new style for the first time, it is advisable to look around and find out what the latest fashions and trends are.   Why not plan ahead by looking at the latest styles and trends, that can be found in World Gold Council’s award winning online magazine, www.goldinspirations.com which is a must for anyone thinking of treating themselves or someone they love with a piece of gold jewellery.

THE BEAUTIFUL BASICS

 

In choosing your essential gold jewellery wardrobe, the primary aim should be to build up a collection of the five essential pieces, which are: necklaces/pendants, bracelets/bangles, earrings, rings and brooches.    The beautiful basics – the must-haves for every woman.   Easy to wear, always in fashion, choose timeless classic designs that are wearable and appropriate for every occasion.   Whether to treat yourself or as a gift, classic gold is never out of fashion, a perfect foundation for everyone’s gold jewellery wardrobe.

GOLD LINKS

 

Once you get into chains you’ll never look back.   Gold chains take many different forms and can be worn anywhere, anytime, anyplace.   The eternal link to fashion, delectable, collectible.   Whether worn singularly or in multiples, chains make a fashion statement.   Why not mix and match for the most impact to add glamour and versatility.  Choker style necklaces accentuate necklines.   Single strands or long chains worn together over plain dresses create elegant simplicity, or go for theatrical style and drape bold chains down your back!   There are so many variations, so visit your local jeweller and experiment.

EARRINGS & RINGS

 

Earrings are still the number one purchase and can be worn in a multitude of ways.   Long and dangling, open wire drops, geometric, circular or button shapes – take plenty of time to choose the style that will enhance your features and flatter your face shape.   Gold rings are both magical and emotional.   Dating back through ancient history they’ve had symbolic significance and we tend to feel naked if we ever forget to put them on.   But apart from their obvious romantic connotations, rings have taken a new place in the fashion league.   The range of new designs is extensive from the exquisitely decorative to the simplest plain styles.    When you are selecting your rings there are some golden rules to remember.   Always make sure they fit comfortably on your finger, they shouldn’t be too big or you run the risk of losing them.   Ask your jeweller for advice on sizing.

BANGLES, BRACELETS AND BROOCHES

 

Wrist wear is an absolute necessity and no gold jewellery wardrobe is complete without bangles and bracelets.   And in case you were confused about what the difference is – bangles are made so that they remain rigid, whereas a bracelet comprises a series of gold links that move when you do.   Don’t forget the charm bracelet; this old favourite is a highly prized and sought after.   Lastly but by now means least, brooches are a more unusual purchase that cannot fail to be noticed if you wear them well.   Chic and sophisticated for the evening, business-like for the office or fun and trendy for a party, brooches say a lot about your personality.
