An expression of grace

jewellery

Thought of as one of the best accessories for women, jewellery can easily be the perfect finishing touch to a plain looking outfit. Whether you are going out to a fancy party or just having a causal get together, the right jewellery can hold an entire outfit together. Every girl has her own preference depending on the image that she projects, whether it’s minimal, modern and quietly luxurious, or traditional, elaborate and bold. There is an array of designs accessible in silver, gold, diamonds or pearls that they can choose from.

Jewellery has gone beyond its definition of accessory, it is also considered as an expression of art and can symbolise a milestone in a woman’s life. It, in a way, represents a woman’s personality and style. Keeping this in mind, there is another jewellery brand in the Capital that offers more than just a style statement.

The Marriot hotel in Islamabad was abuzz with the highly anticipated launch of a contemporary jewellery brand called ‘Ruhania’ by Sarah Hashwani, which according to her is a ‘celebration of spirituality, an expression of grace and an exultation of gratitude for every moment of the day, every day’. The Dubai-based brand features over 100 exquisite styles of jewellery, responsibly sourced and crafted from precious stones, beads and metals and ornaments from around the world in styles that are as contemporary as they are reflective of a deeper old-world consciousness.

What makes this brand stand apart from others is its authenticity and style. The brand presents a line of accessories that has been created with the intent of channelling the power of positivity to flow abundantly into everyday life. The carefully crafted combinations of stones and gems are sourced from the best.

While speaking to the media, Sarah Hashwani expressed her excitement and joy for the launch, “I am extremely happy and proud to announce the launch of ‘Ruhania’ in Pakistan, my home. It has been my dream and desire to create a meaningful and significant line of jewellery that reflects the beauty of the human spirit and the divine light inside each of us - jewellery that speaks of a personal spiritual journey and connects humanity to a single sacred thread of awareness, gratitude, peace and enlightenment.”

Ways how you can wear beaded jewellery:

Beaded jewellery is probably the most underrated accessory since it is not as ‘flashy’ like diamonds or other precious stones. Although, most women don’t realise its versatility and the number of looks you can pull off just by this single piece of accessory.

Wear them with simple outfits: The classic combination of beads and a monochrome outfit is perfect for any occasion. Whether you are wearing dark or dull, this jewellery will go with just about anything. But, make sure that your necklines and sleeves are plain; otherwise it will detract from the elegance and rather underwhelm the accessory. Let’s not forget that these necklaces and bracelets come in many different coloured pieces that can add pops of colour to a boring outfit.

Single or multiple strands: When we think about light-coloured beads like ivory, opaque or blush pink, style icons such as Princess Diana and Jacqueline Kennedy come to mind, who more than often wore pearl pieces. You can achieve this look by wearing it in a single loop letting it hang low for a minimalist feature. Or, you can loop it up according to your comfort over a slim-fitting dress like a choker or a necklace.

Use it as a headpiece: Who said that you can only wear headbands or barrettes as an accessory for your hair? You can even use it as head chain. Whether you cover your head or not, wear it like a crowning glory.
