There used to be a time when women waited for men to purchase them a piece of jewellery. There was nothing wring with that, and despite it being a beautiful touch to be gifted a timeless designed jewels, there's just something that little more special about purchasing it for yourself. With a growth in financial freedom, women of the 21st century can buy themselves what they want, and jewellery is almost at the top of the list. However; there is a twofold emotional connection.
Our achievements can be celebrated by buying and wearing jewellery
Earning and spending her money on herself is something special and valuable; showing advances in a woman's career. Many women decide to treat themselves with jewellery, reminding them of a stage in their lives that they were immensely proud of themselves after a certain achievement.
Can a woman forget choosing jewellery for herself? NEVER!
As stated in a previous blog, expressing one's unique style by picking a piece of jewellery themselves. How many times has it occurred for you to have worn a piece of jewellery that you didn't necessarily like but wore it anyway because it was a dear sentiment from someone loved?
Independence, Freedom of choice, emotional connections and style are a few of the things choosing your own jewellery symbolizes.
Behind every piece of jewellery can be a truly remarkable story
The beauty of jewellery pieces is that each design will have a tory of its own. Only you, and those you choose to tell will know what the story is behind your chosen design. A necklace set bought from your own wages; A floral set chosen for your special event; A CZ set chosen for your mum/sister or even payal chosen for your best friend's wedding
Why women feel an emotional connection to jewellery
An emotional connection between a woman and her jewellery is something wonderful and truly touching. Unique jewellery pieces and their designs can remind her of some great achievements.
As women, we can connect to our feminine side more than any other items and feel beautiful, even if the hidden story says otherwise. Although jewellery pieces have the meaning we assign to them, jewellery as a whole has been a woman's best friend for thousands of years, which allows the emotional connection to each individual piece to be even greater.
Becoming a single mother and exiting a toxic and abusive relationship, left me battling a range of emotions whilst finding my true self again. Feeling beautiful was something I never imagined could be achieved. Time allowed me to heal, and my chosen jewellery pieces empowered the new sense of freedom I longed to feel. Today, every design I choose to wear, carries a sense of achievement; of reaching heights I never thought would be possible. If my chosen jewellery sets can have that impact on me, what do your jewellery pieces mean to you?
