What is the importance of jewellery designing?

Just like with fashion, jewellery trends and designs are constantly changing. Over the centuries, each era had its own style, contrasting to how designs look in the 21st century.

This is all thanks to jewellery designers, producing pieces that reflect the trends during those times. 

So why is designing jewellery important? What does jewellery mean to people? As a jeweller that was established in 1880, we will be explaining why and how designs have changed over the years!

Jewellery designs 

Jewellery has been an important part of human cultures, dating back to Ancient Rome, Greece and Egypt. Antique jewellery always tells a story, providing an insight into the social and economic climate of that time in history. Since these times, jewellery has completely developed thanks to the discovery of new materials and production techniques.

Even to this day, jewellery is still an important part of our lives, available in an abundance of different styles, whether that be rings, necklaces, earrings and much more. 

All of these different jewellery designs allow the majority of people to find their ideal pieces, especially for big occasions, whether that be a wedding, anniversary, birthday etc. Purchasing or being gifted a piece of jewellery will often have a sentimental value due to the situation it was purchased for. As there are so many different jewellery designs from a wide range of brands across the world, jewellery can feel much more special to receive than many other gifts.

For example, here at Cuttings, we offer a selection of stunning, second-hand jewellery that all vary significantly in design, making these items a very unique and special gift for anyone that receives them. 

Not only does jewellery hold a sentimental value for many people, but it is used to add the cherry on top of an outfit! Jewellery can often complete a look for many people; for example, someone may wear a plain black dress and transform the look with a statement necklace. In other cases, some may opt for a classic look, wearing a dainty diamond necklace and other subtle pieces which give a classy and elegant look to any outfit. You can view our range of diamond jewellery and other pieces on our website here.
