Emulating the Oscar Stars: Jewelry’s Value: Price or Expression?

[Joe Holiday]

Artists and celebrities gather once again in the 81st Academy Awards to celebrate and commemorate the best of the best in the field of entertainment. And as always, this gave everyone the opportunity to dress up and show the world that gods and goddesses do exist.

Vintage style jewelry seem to make a scene in the red carpet, stating the fact that such style won’t be lost in time. Diamond flower necklaces, teardrop emerald earrings, silvery coral bangles and bracelets shimmered and sparkled as the parade of stars walk and smile to the flashes of the cameras and the anticipation of the crowd.

Awards gatherings like the Oscars are a driving force in the fashion industry. Such assembly gives the fans an opportunity to analyze the hottest outfits and coolest accessories which will guide them to what is guaranteed to be “in” this season. Let’s admit that we watched the awards not just to know “who won what” but also in anticipation of “what was worn by whom”. Why? So that we can try to emulate our favorite celebrities’ sense of chic and glamour.

But in these trying times, one can only be too lax in buying expensive jewelry. Imitating Hollywood fashion can make a big dent to the budget. So how can you stay “in” without getting buried in debt?

INOX Steel Jewelry’s wide collection of affordable, durable and expressively stylish steel jewelry pieces offers a solution. The delicate and detailed craftsmanship of every steel accessory plus a hundred varieties of designs convey elegance and provides freedom to put together that superstar look without pushing your credit limit.

When it comes to jewelry, it is not all about the bling but the message you are saying. The tag price is not the only thing that tells you the value of an object. Actor Mickey Rourke stood on the red carpet probably thinking within these lines as he flaunted a simple yet powerful accessory: a pedant bearing the photo of Loki (his Chihuahua who recently passed away) to honor his loyal and beloved companion.

Jewelry should be treated as it should be: as accessories of expression and not as investments. No matter how much a necklace costs if it doesn’t work for you, it’s useless. Thus, it is better to buy jewelry that you know you can afford but still express what you want to express. Steel jewelry is one of the best choices for the financially wise but still trendy you. Now, that’s true fashion.
