Every woman's favourite metal gold, now sings paeans to nature's floral artistry in a range of jewellery creations that sees perfect reproductions of exotic blooms from roses and orchids to tuberoses and lotuses, with tender stems and delicate leaves enhancing the design to superlative effect.
For those with a penchant for the unusual, just a swirl of metal signifies a blushing blossom ready to grace your ears, neck and wrist, in one-off collections that you can wear with flair.
And what's more, with gold now coming in almost all the colours of the rainbow, from rose, yellow, white, green and more, you the jewellery lover has never had it so good.
And that's not all. As one of the most pliant metals, with a glow that defies sunshine; gold jewellery offers the wearer an option to wear history too.
Spend a leisurely afternoon browsing through Dubai's famous gold souk and you can come away with floral jewellery inspired by ancient Byzantine traditions, Japanese textile weaves, Indian motifs that go back to the beginning of time and Arabesque patterns of alluring essence.
"Flowers have since time immemorial stirred and inspired the most astonishing creations in art. Their fragile, transient glory is captured forever this season, in pieces that go perfectly with both day and casual wear and of course for gala evenings."
"Such jewels bring together the designers vision and the wearer's love for beauty in a perfect partnership that crosses all boundaries,” said Lama Al Saheb, Public Relations Manager of World Gold Council.
