In addition to caratage and colour, gold finish can affect the overall style and feel of a particular item of jewellery. The new focus is on highly textured finishes: silky, ribbed, plaited, pierced and woven, or on the dreamy satin sheen and frosts of the 70s style. New designs are exemplified by raw, hammered finish, evoking handmade craftsmanship and an organic feeling that echoes ethnic themes but with contemporary flair.
“Gold jewellery design has been seeing a lot of transformation in recent years. Gold finish and textures redefine the way we look at and appreciate gold as personal adornment. The possibilities are endless and I strongly believe this emerging trend will dominate the realm of jewellery in years to come,” Al Saheb concludes.
