This summer, jewellery leaves behind the woes of gold weight and diamond prices. The idea transcends into statement designs. Bold and big are the way to go this summer. Financial pressures are wading off and families return to what matters most, roots and culture, in fashion as well. Such a return to 'essentials' is triggered by a sense of searching for one's identity in the labyrinth of a fast-paced life. Also, such a turn is not restricted to teenagers or middle-aged women but rather spans through the wide spectrum of age groups.

The ethnic bohemian trend spans across all accessories. There is penchant to exotic-ness. There are strong influences from Morocco, Africa and India. Materials too have witnessed unusual blends. Wood is extensively used with semi precious stones in silver. This is continues to be the most exploited ensemble of the trend. Everything is bold and big, be it Statement necklaces or stacking of bangles of different shapes and sizes. The colour ways of canary yellow, fuchsia and sunset oranges are the prominent languages of artistic communication.
