Fine jewellery is a lot more than just an accessory. It is an imperative part of one’s attire that holds the power of making or breaking an outfit. It adds character to an outfit but only if you are on point with the ongoing trends. While the whole world talks about fashion and colours in trend; only few talk about jewellery trends. And with so many trends coming up every season how does one know which ones to follow and which to leave? It gets a bit confusing and at times intimidating with everyone obsessively swooning over a trend on social media and by the very next season they have disappeared. We understand that completely; that is why we have put together a list of trends that are here to stay and will round off your jewellery closet, courtesy Abhishek Ghatiwala, CEO & Creative Director, Ghatiwala.
