In the ancient days gold jewellery was a mark of wealth and status in society. And this status discrimination has been carried forward into modern day society. Till date, families buy gold every year, as it is means of measuring their wealth-value. The men are particular about the jewellery their wives wear for social functions - it has to be something large and flashy, to prove their affordability. This is a common sight in the traditional families, who live by the age-old conventions. A typical trend scene in places like Delhi, Jaipur, many places of south India, etc. Jewellery and woman go hand in hand. Hardly a woman is immune to the allure of a jewellery store. Fine handcrafted jewellery, jade jewellery, gold jewellery - the range is wide, the possibilities are endless! Since time immemorial, this lustrous metal has held people in awe and amazement.

Gold jewellery is now crafted keeping changing trends and fashion in mind. You can pick up exquisite pieces like jewellery rings and gold charms and even baby jewellery in various hues and shades.

Gold has been a favorite with jewelers on account of its beauty and ease of workmanship. Fashion jewellery is a rage with younger women - hip-hop earrings, beaded jewellery and jewellery set with precious stones. Body piercing jewellery also finds favor with many. Jewellery is an excellent gift for someone you love. The sparkle in the woman's eyes can only be complemented by diamonds. However, in progressive towns and cities, it is not about size, but comfort. In fact, today's working women believe in the mantra of variety and so instead of blocking a lump sum amount on jewellery they cannot where ever so often, they would rather make smaller and cheaper purchases of fashion jewellery. This type of jewellery is available in precious metal as well as artificial jewellery.

The entire market is inundated by a huge variety of fashion jewellery made of various materials. Many young ladies make their own range jewellery using colorful ropes and beads of various sizes and types. They make an entire set of a necklace, bracelet, earrings and anklets. One can also make such jewellery using wires, instead of threads, or a combination of both. It is all about using one's creative ability to make something that looks beautiful.

There are people, who have established a successful business in fashion jewellery as a result of pushing a hobby forward. Some have created brands; others have actually started an export business in their jewellery. There is no limit to what can be worn as fashionable jewellery. Some youngsters sport safety pins in their ears like earrings. Some have made a necklace from safety pins. Like this there are so many materials and objects that can be converted into a type of jewellery after painting and stringing together.

Today the way one presents themselves has become a matter of great importance and relevance. There are a number of personality development and grooming classes that teach one not only basic aspects of speaking, etiquette and grooming, but also important aspects of dressing up. And it’s no more just about the clothes, but also about the accessories one carries - both men and women.

Gone are the times when the age old adage - never judge a book by its cover - reigned supreme and physical appearance was the last of aspects to take into account when people meeting for the first time. But now, it is the very first point of focus - how presentable is the individual. Whether man or woman, one is noticed from head to toe. The makeup, clothes and fashion accessories are monitored to judge the person.

The accessories like bags and shoes are the most important, and where women are concerned even the jewellery worn is noticed with an eagle's eyes. This is why when training individuals to go for an interview they are told about what kind of fashion accessories to carry and what to avoid.

However, there is no standardization where accessories are concerned. For instance, small and sophisticated is the mantra for the corporate world. The person needs to be compact. Ideally with western wear closed shoes are preferred and with Indian wear it's the simple neutral sandals or slippers. For men it's a black bag to carry the laptop and files, or whatever else. The shoes are well polished and ideally black or brown and not to forget the necktie.

On the other hand for the media industry, no matter what the job profile or designation it is more casual, except for the top management. In fact, for the creative people, the more casual and artistic their accessories, the more faith in their creative abilities.

It is important not only for individuals to be aware of what should be carried when; but also for aspiring fashion designers to learn the categories of accessories. This is because a large number of people are dependent on guidance when shopping, and before advising them on the fashion accessories it is vital to understand their needs for the products and then suggest in accordance.
