Jewellery trends that demand versatile accessories have given birth to transformable pieces

Trends in jewellery reflect the sentiment and mentality of their times. While style is personal and taste is subjective, what happens in the world affects how people seek solace in beauty.

It also reflects the changing lifestyle. “Most of our clients are mobile, travel often, have full and varied days, and would like their jewellery to suit their fast-changing lifestyles,” says Ronald Abram, a Hong Kong jeweller loved by the well-heeled. “We’re also noticing people are becoming more casual, so even at the highest price points, fine jewellery should be wearable for formal and casual occasions.”

That trend can be seen in new jewellery lines such as Chanel’s Gallery Collection, which comprises 12 pieces of jewellery that reinterpret the chain of the 2.55 handbag and the octagonal shape of Place Vendôme.

The “My Green” ring in 18ct yellow gold set with a green emerald-cut 1,87ct tourmaline, three carved malachites and 37 brilliant-cut diamonds is recommended as a jewel that the wearer can wear any day and anywhere.

Another leading jeweller, Nirav Modi, has paid heed to that need, based on the classic Embrace bangle, which his brand describes as “Everyday Spectacular” for its versatility that allows for easy transformation from day to night looks.

“I have noticed that with jewellery, and luxury goods in general, people want something novel,” Modi says.
