A RE-IMAGINATION OF CLASSIC BANGLES TO FIT THE NEEDS OF A MODERN WOMAN Jewellery has always been an extremely important part of our lives. Right from ancient times, even when precious stones and metals were not as easily available, people have been making do with whatever they have to create beautiful and gorgeous bangles, jewellery items like necklaces, rings and other jewellery pieces. The focus has always been on grandeur and a common principle that people favoured was - more is more. Bangles have been an intrinsic part of our lives. This is mainly due to the fact that bangles, in general, are a regularly used piece of jewellery. They have a strong cultural significance and value attached to them and one can hardly ignore their importance in our life. Back in the day, gold bangles were a relatively rare concept. Bangles jewellery were mostly focused on cheaper alternatives like lacquer and glass, these weren't very practical for use in the long run, but they were more affordable and could be purchased for daily use. Silver was the go-to metal for more special occasions since it was still something the common folk could aspire too. Gold bangles eventually came into vogue as the metal became available in greater quantities. There was a strong preference for large, chunky bangles and there are a number of reasons for this. On the face of it, it appears that people associated gold with wealth. There was a sense that since gold is being used, one needs to use it to the hilt. Another more important reason for this is the fact that making gold jewellery was not as easy as it is today. Finer, more intricate pieces were difficult to craft, and hence larger pieces were the only option. Things have changed greatly in the past few decades. Innovations in technology have ensured that jewellery makers and designers can now work on gold jewellery in ways that were deemed impossible in the past. This shift is also strongly reflected in the kind of jewellery pieces we see today. You have a wide range of intricate gold bangles with fine work on them. Nature-inspired motifs on bangles seem to have become something of a trend and with good reason. These lighter gold pieces are not only more convenient to use but also look amazing. They have truly added a new dimension to modern jewellery making. Buying gold jewellery however, continues to remain an expensive affair.
