Gold Jewellery

Looking Back to Where It Began

Long before humans realised the versatility of gold, they were first struck with its exuberance when they discovered it as little lopsided shiny nuggets in streams throughout the world. All the developing cultures then took a natural liking to this lustrous find, and so began our experiment with gold.

Soon gold began to signify power and was associated with gods, rulers, beauty and wealth everywhere. It became the currency of mankind but more importantly it became precious jewellery worn by everyone. The first gold chains and bracelets were adorned by early Egyptians back around 2500 B.C. Traces of heavy gold ornaments in the form of gold necklace, bracelets, earrings, rings, pendants, pins and brooches have been discovered in tombs and excavations worldwide, including India.

Traditional Indian Gold Jewellery

Our own history is also painted in shades of gold. Traditional Indian gold jewellery that originated from the various dynasties that ruled us has assimilated into our culture. Many of us have inherited such heirloom jewellery from our grandmothers or have chosen to buy these traditional pieces for their unique ethnic essence. One thing's for sure, such traditional gold jewellery designs continue to hold great sentimental and aesthetic value even today.

However, if traditional is not your thing, it's time to look at gold in a fresh new way.

Going Un-Nostalgic about Gold

CaratLane conducted a survey, Unlearning Gold, in March 2016, to discover the new-age perceptions, tastes and preferences related to gold jewellery in the country. From simple gold chain designs to a modern twist on traditional jewellery, the finding from this survey tells you how women want to reinvent the conventions of gold in different ways.

If you feel like breaking away from the traditional nostalgia and embrace latest gold jewellery, pull out the old gold from the lockers and exchange it for new designs.
