KOMAL’s Gold Jewellery Designs in Pakistan Don’t Break the Bank!

Buying real gold jewellery with ease seems like a sunehra khwaab. Even if you can afford to do so, finding pieces that befit your contemporary fashion needs can be an even bigger problem. But there is hope and we want to let you in on a sunehra raaz: the gold jewellery designs in Pakistan by KOMAL open the door to the craftsmanship and luxe of gold, minus the luxury price tag! 

The history of gold jewellery designs

Its substance and grandiose have made gold’s appeal transcend time and cultures throughout history. The Indus Valley Civilization, in around 2500 BCE, is known for its exquisite gold jewellery and the use of gold as currency. The Mauryan and Gupta periods in India, and the Kushan Empire in Pakistan, saw the development of intricate gold jewellery designs, many of which were influenced by Greek and Roman styles. In South Asia, gold is largely perceived to be a symbol of wealth and prosperity and in fact, gold inheritance of brides can be seen as a quiet feminist movement in the region that emerged and gained momentum during British occupation. 

The Mughal Empire, which spanned much of the subcontinent from the 16th to the 19th century, is particularly well-known for its ornate gold jewellery designs, which incorporated precious stones and intricate enameling techniques. During the colonial period, gold jewellery production became more industrialized, with machinery and mass production techniques being introduced.

Despite these changes, traditional goldsmithing techniques remain prevalent in many rural areas of the subcontinent. In recent times, contemporary jewellery designs have incorporated traditional motifs and techniques, reflecting the region’s rich cultural heritage. To date, gold jewellery designs are often exchanged on special occasions such as weddings, religious festivities, birth announcements. The region is also a significant consumer of gold, with gold imports accounting for a significant proportion of total imports in many countries.

Evolving perceptions of jewellery designs in gold

For pragmatic reasons, real gold’s charm has faded, if not diminished. There are for those who value jewellery more for its design, craftsmanship and resonance with their personal style. They are jewellery connoisseurs, who carefully pick a gold little something that finishes off just about every one of their outfits ; or even statement pieces that truly exude their fashion aura. Some of these are also conscious shoppers who want to put their money into gold biscuits, and not gold jewellery as they perceive it to be a safety risk. And so, they are either disappointed by the style options or deterred by the high cost of real gold jewellery designs in Pakistan available in the local market to them. If this sounds like you, then you are as enchanted by gold as we are at KOMAL- afterall, nothing completes a look like a great piece of gold jewellery design. But, more importantly, we both believe that you need not spend a fortune for it!  

The traditional idea of gold jewelry being a symbol of status and wealth has been challenged by innovative new materials such as plastics, paper, and textiles. These modern technologies have revolutionized the jewelry industry, opening up a world of possibilities for creative and affordable designs. The shift towards non-precious materials not only democratizes the art of jewelry-making, but also encourages a new appreciation for creativity and innovation over traditional notions of luxury. Enter: gold plating! Gold plating refers to layering a thin layer of gold onto a base metal such as copper, brass, or stainless steel. The end result is a magnificent piece that looks and feels like solid gold, but without the hefty price tag. Not only are plated gold jewellery designs much more affordable than solid gold, but also more versatile, durable and safe to wear. They can also be rendered in a plethora of shades, from classic yellow to trendy rose and white gold. As a result,they are perfect for any occasion, and if looked after correctly,can last for several years making them a popular choice for both everyday wear and special occasions.
