A SPARKLING INVESTMENT

Fine jewellery today is an art in the true sense of the word, on a par with beautiful paintings, and people actually risk their lives to get these precious gems and metals from the mine to the craftman's bench. A jewel in its final stages can be reduced to a shapeless mass by too high a temperature, or a priceless gem will become a worthless reject in a matter of seconds should it fracture in the craftman's hands while being set.

When buying fine jewellery, one can then appreciate the end result as it requires the same amount of care and thought to distinguish between the good and not so good jewellery available today. Most often we associate jewellery with feminine appeal but if one looks back in time, personal adornment was first used by man as an indication of virility and power. But try as they may, they could not keep these fascinating shimmering jewels away from women for long and today Barnes Jewellers offer every kind of precious gem and metal to adorn the human body.

Why wear jewellery?

Its a mistake to think that jewellery is just a mere object or that the same pieces can be used for a mature woman as with a teenager. Not at all! Jewellery should be worn as an expression of the wearer's personality, chosen for that purpose as it illuminates and enhances any human body. A beautiful piece of fine jewellery is very sensuous so it is important that the pieces are in proportion to the size of your face.

Gems too, should be chosen carefully taking into account their colour and shape,so before one buys jewellery one should ask for what purpose you want it and what does is say about you. One should also be careful with choice when it comes to choosing jewellery that serves a purpose like a watch, cuff links or tie pins; that it matches up with your other jewellery. A shimmering necklace draws attention to ones neck and earrings, if they are the dangling type, jiggle and jangle with every move of the head while a ring accentuates the sensuality and elegance of the hand.

Fine jewellery of 50 years ago is highly fashionable today and will be so 50 years from now.
