I was core research team member of the Jewellery Trend Book 2018, an initiative by the Gems & Jewellery Export Promotion Council of India in association with National Institute of Design, Ahmedabad.
The book showcases six macro-trends categorised under the broad domains of bridal, couture and prèt. A macrotrend communicates the underlying concept and is associated with two to three looks.
A look can be interpreted as a design direction that is linked to a certain mood and distinct aesthetic sensibilities. Each look highlights a palette of key materials, techniques, surface finishes, colours and interesting details.
