Women's Jewellery Trends An Overview
Women's jewellery trends have become much more important than in previous decades as the focus on fashion has increased. This means that fashion-followers no longer just consider what to wear, but they also consider how to accessorise which means hats, gloves, scarf's, sunglasses and of course jewellery. Jewellery is the broad term for items such as rings, bracelets, broaches, necklaces and watches.
Trends tend to evolve over time which means that different themes and influences can be spotted on the catwalks and on the high street over a given period of time. The nature of accessories can be split into two categories: costume jewellery which is largely low-cost and often 'disposable;' There is also fine jewellery which is premium therefore more expensive and usually something that is personal and cherished for life.
