Be it the necklaces, bangles, and earrings or striking items like ear cuffs, anklets or toe rings, ethnic jewellery has always been a head turner. In olden days, the use of raw materials for jewellery has now become a part of ethnicity.

An outburst from China has gone everywhere. In the last few months, Corona’s epicentre has been shifted from China to Europe to the United States and now to India. 

Indisputably, this Coronavirus has put the world economy at a foremost threat. Coronavirus devastated the economic fundamentals of global trade.

I am ending my note with an appeal to stay safe and maintain the social distancing norms and value every life around you. Together with persistence and rational, we can overcome the pandemic. 

Each metal in a decorative piece holds a stylish foundation, maintains in
vicinity gemstones and creates a structure that makes the entire layout
work. Indeed, the metal has its unique elegance. And metal is the simplest
item inside the jewellery in lots of designs.
Metals generally used in best jewellery are referred to as valuable metals.
They consist, historically, of platinum, gold, and silver. Fine jewellery today
is also made from sterling silver, cobalt, palladium, titanium, tungsten
carbide (titanium and tungsten carbide are more likely for use in men’s
jewellery), or even space-age ceramics.
Take a tour with us to recognise the type of metals making a wave inside
the jewellery phase and the way they flaunt it’s style. Love is in the
air and it that day of the year to make the loved one feel special, and

 Pearls have always captivated people for centuries with its classic lustre and beauty. Ropes of pearls, be it short, long or layers of strings, they have always been fabulous. They are one of the oldest gems representing royalty, elegance and glamour.  The most interesting thing about pearls is that they are the only gems produced by a living animal which requires no cutting or polishing, and this makes them unique and near-universal appeal. 
Pearls blend with any metals and enhance perfection and have an eccentric sense of fashion. From centuries-old jewellery to more modern glorious displays belonging to royalty, movie stars and other rich and famous, pearl drenched jewellery has created a niche for itself.  It is beyond a gem, represents a wide range of virtues, from knowledge and experience to strength and integrity.

What are antiques? I would always say they are the best and the most beautiful way of treasuring your family heirloom with a tint love and emotions. I always had a thrill of finding something from my grandma’s attic.  Every antique will have a story to tell and especially when it comes to jewellery, it will have a mix of emotional tales that will be passed on to the next generation with values.
I have always felt that antique jewellery has far more soul vis a vis to any other jewellery. Its classic and exquisite designs make it a perennial favourite with wearers as well as for the spectators around the world.
 It’s precisely this sort of history that styles antique jewellery all the more captivating to wear. Antique jewels are beyond accessory, they hold historical values and traditions which in no time can turn into conversation starters and heirlooms that can serve to delight and enchant generations to come.
The ‘Antique Special’ edition will be enthralling to read with history, and beautiful collections making its way.

What we wear personifies our identity whether it is an attire, or jewellery or even footwear. Especially, when it comes to jewellery it reflects our mood and indicates something about us. Gold, diamonds, platinum have their own charm and elegance, but the ethnicity of silver jewellery is something we are always for awe.
The rustic look that silver jewellery flaunts cannot go ignored. I would say these striving splendours definitely demands responsibility with magnificence. Ethnic oxidized jewellery comes with its own panache, adding enthusiasm and setting the right trend.
Our latest edition with the ‘Silver Jewellery’ as its theme will induce you with the earthy yet graceful tone in you. From ethnic to tribal to contemporary, everything that you are looking in silver will be served to you. 
What is the trend in silver jewellery, where to source the best, why celebrities prefer to go with a big chunk of these, how heritage silver pieces can be the star of any occasion, this and much more we bring it to you in the silver platter. So, don’t just grab the edition, instead oxidise your style for a folkloric air.

Indian weddings are most excellently imagined as enormous spectacles. Weddings are more than about noticeable consumption or celebrations of new relationship bonds. They are a show of forte, an idealised reappearance to rituals, and a celebration of social liberalism. 
The occasion of marriage is a very special event for everyone and especially in India, it is looked upon as a highly sacred bond. Indian wedding is not complete without the jewellery making its grand presence. 
A bride of any country remains incomplete without the beautiful dash of some jewellery pieces giving the bride a royal look.
Every jeweller stock a beautiful collection of wedding jewellery which is not just for the bride but even for are the groom. Gone are the days when wedding jewellery focussed only on the bride. Today, with stunning collections for the groom, the jewellery design has taken a new turn in designs.
The intricate designs of jewellery pieces talk about beautiful handiwork by the implausible craftsman. 
The Wedding Special edition will give you a glimpse of how designs pave its way through precious metals and stones. Besides the beautiful wedding jewellery collections, the edition also features retailers’ views and trends of wedding jewellery. 
Celebrate your D Day with bling.

“Diamonds: The brilliance of the subtle shine”

Our history, literature and culture have given us enough evidence that diamonds have been unfaltering signs of love and passion. But both in metaphor and reality, diamonds have also been associated with the definitive representation of victory, of having conquered the zenith of success.

Diamonds can never go out of fad, it is not just the royals, or the elite have the awe with the diamonds, but today with the affordable diamonds, owning a diamond is not just a mere dream. It is said that jewellery reflects women’s personality and I feel it is true to some extent.

These precious rocks have its own way to muse its wearer with is sophistication, sparkle and of course size too.  Its size, colour, shape and clarity allow women as well as man the possibility to find a panache of jewellery they like. 

Every piece of jewellery is tagged with a story and a sentiment attached. There is a charm and desire to own diamonds and wear them.

Our ‘Diamond Theme’ edition is all set to shimmer with celebrity’s love for diamonds, designer’s passion for creating and much more. Be ready to be dazzled!


Celebrating womanhood!

Nevertheless, we tend to think that women in today’s society have attained a  status in the various field of legal, educational, socio-economic, or religious matters, we still often tend to employ different yardsticks. Habitually, chauvinists have constantly looked upon women as inferior.

This scenario doesn’t change even today completely. Yes, but with the changing times, the role of women has acquired new dimensions. In an exclusive interaction with the beautiful and successful ladies and to honour their phenomenal contribution to the world we bring to you their inspiring and empowering journey of highs and troughs.

As the years’ march head, we witness substantial changes. From astronauts and prime ministers, women have been playing a vital role in society. Today we have welcomed, or I would rather say have proved that women can work and have a family at the same time. She excels the art of balancing. Though our place in the society has seen transformations, still it is a long way to go.

“Be the woman you want to be, don’t let others define you”

Happy Women’s Day!

The first month of the new year goes by paving the way for February- the month of love.  A month filled with e fragrance of love, the joy of togetherness and sharing the respect. Named after Saint Valentine, a Catholic priest who lived in Rome in the 3rd Century this festival has spread its magic across the world. Today, Valentine’s Day has gained momentum in India too developing its own traditions.  It is a day for expressing love between family members and friends, rather than that of romantic couples.

Whilst giving chocolates, flowers gifting is the common practice, but gifting jewellery has always remained as an elite passion. If you are looking for the ideal Valentine’s Day gift for your loved one, I would say what better way to show your appreciation than a beautiful jewel. From rings to bracelets to earrings to pendants and chains you have it all.

Valentine’s Day is a beautiful time and way to celebrate the one you love. Express your appreciation for him or her with an unforgettable Valentine’s Day jewel. Be it your mother or wife, your children, friend or yourself, its time to make it special.

Our Valentine’s Day special edition will take you to the world of love land where you can explore the plethora of jewel for your special one.

No matter what type of trinket or a jewel you choose, know that it is a gift you chose from the heart and that is what matters most.

Colours add vibrancy to your life and involved in every part of our life. Life would have been revolved around the shades of grey. Colours are somewhere related to our emotions too, be it in the attire, food, lifestyle and even jewellery, colours play a very vital or rather I would say a very bright role in everyone’s life.

Every metal is beautiful in its own way, but we cannot deny the fact that colourful gemstones added to a trinket, calls for attention.

The J Mag is envisioned with  a simple thought of making people  fall in love with jewellery .

There are bloggers, influencers, designers and experts doing great work in providing content on the jewellery for the consumers, but there are no comprehensive platforms which connect all of them. This makes the information limited to few pockets of premium consumer segments leaving a huge chunk of market searching for right information on jewellery. The J Mag aims to fill this void by creating a platform that brings together various sources of jewellery information, curated from the best in the industry.

The J Mag teamed up with premium brands  like Abaran Timeless Jewellery, Bhima Jewellery,  Forevermark, HRD Antwerp, PGI, Style Prer, Swarovski, and Vibhavana Foundation to present exclusive content. We are also in talks with many other brands who will be soon part of this collaboration.
