Hello,
Humans have been making the use of jewellery since times
begin. It was either used to mark one’s social status or to pay respect to
someone by gifting him a special piece of jewellery or gem. From simple
seashell necklaces to intricate designs of gold and diamond jewellery available
today, humans have really out-done themselves in a particularly short span of
time.
Nowadays, the process of making jewellery is not as
difficult as choosing it – especially if you are insanely in love with it! So
here’s a little guide that’ll help all the jewellery lovers as well as the newbies
out there.
Step one – investigate about the latest jewellery trends!
Yes, that’s the most important step. You cannot wear something that went off
season last summer. Search for the season’s look: pearls, beads, stones, or
dangling earrings maybe? But that doesn’t mean you have to throw away last
season’s precious jewellery. Keep it. A few months later, it’ll be ‘in’ again.
Step two – decide what kind of jewellery you need.
You can go for simple fashion jewellery paired with your platinum or silver
ring for going out with your girlfriends or at work. No need to over-do stuff
by loading yourself with lots of gold. I must say, even desi aunties don’t go
for that look now. In Pakistan, you can buy amazing fashion jewellery off the
internet in no time.
Step three – see what draws attention to your face.
If you have a long face, you don’t need dangling earrings.
You can go for hoops or small gem earrings that’ll draw
more attention to your beautiful face and not your face’s length.Don’t forget
about your hands in the mean process. Buy elegant rings and bangles to complete
the look.
Step four – know the jewellery basics.
In order to protect yourself from getting scammed, you must know the following
few things about gemstones, pearls and fine metal jewellery.
·
Gemstones: After diamonds, emerald, ruby and
sapphire are considered the most precious gems. Their hardness levels are 7.5 –
8, 9 and 9respectively. Though pure gems are quite rare to find,
moderately-included gems work just as fine and add a vivid spark to your jewellery.
·
Pearls: Organic stones available in a variety of
colours, though white ones are more crowd-pleasing than the others. They look
very elegant and womanish. Their quality can be determined by their luster,
texture (near to flawless would be great), shape (round pearls are more
expensive), size and colour. Scam tip - Fake pearls weigh less than real ones
and appear grainy under magnifying glass.
·
Fine metal jewellery: This thing mainly needs
experience! While 24 karat is the purest form of gold, it can’t be used to make
jewellery alone as it’s too soft. Gold less than 10K is not even near to
quality gold. Platinum on the other hand, is more expensive than gold and is a
lot stronger; so it’s generally use in its pure form. Silver is often alloyed
with copper to form sterling.
You can shop online for every kind of Jewellery in Pakistan. Stores like Daraz.pk and PakStyle.pk
offer fashion jewellery at quite reasonable prices. Just be sure to ask the
dealer fair amount of questions till you’re satisfied about your purchase and
see if you can trust him. Happy shopping! J
