The Australian Move to Meaningful Accessories
Australian style has evolved beyond fast fashion. Today's shopper is a conscious consumer, prioritizing pieces that are ethically made, durable, and offer a quiet, timeless elegance—a trend we call "Gentle Luxury."
At House of Himalayas, we're proud to feature Aakar Jewels, a collection that perfectly embodies this shift. Aakar Jewels uses high-quality gold plating, offering the rich look and intricate design of heritage Nepali craftsmanship, but at a price point that makes luxury accessible and sustainable for your everyday life in Australia.
Gentle Luxury: Investment Pieces, Not Impulse Buys
-
The Trend: Australians are rejecting pieces that tarnish or break quickly. They seek quality and longevity.
-
The Aakar Solution: Gold-plated jewellery (often referred to in the market as vermeil or fine gold plating) provides superior durability and tarnish resistance compared to standard costume jewellery. It’s an investment in a piece you can wear often, layer easily, and trust to last—perfect for the Australian lifestyle, which often moves between humid coastlines and urban settings.
-
Key Talking Points: Discuss the thickness of the gold layer and the quality of the base metal (sterling silver or brass), emphasising its difference from cheap alternatives. It’s the perfect bridge between everyday wear and heirloom quality.
Bridging Cultures: The Art of Layered Sophistication
The true magic of Aakar Jewels lies not just in the high-quality plating but in the detailed designs that draw inspiration from traditional Nepali motifs, temples, and natural Himalayan elements. These pieces are inherently versatile, designed to be worn in ways that are both deeply meaningful and perfectly on-trend.
Sophistication Through Subtlety: Layering Your Aakar Jewels
One of the greatest strengths of Aakar's delicate gold-plated collection is its ability to be effortlessly layered up or down, allowing you to create a sophisticated, curated look that enhances your style without appearing overly bold or "too gold."
-
Layering Up: For a richer, statement look—ideal for a weekend event or cultural celebration—start with a foundational piece, such as a delicate Aakar chain necklace. Then, layer it with a contrasting piece, perhaps a fine modern gold chain or a culturally significant item like a Tilhari. The consistent, beautiful tone of the gold plating ensures that the mixed textures and styles create a harmonious, luxurious look that stands out without being overbearing.
-
Layering Down (The Daily Luxe): For everyday wear in the Australian office or casual weekend brunch, simplicity is key. Choose one focal point—a delicate gold-plated bangle, a set of petite earrings, and a single Aakar ring. These pieces deliver a sophisticated flash of gold, instantly elevating your look while remaining subtle, professional, and refined.
How to Style Aakar Jewels for the Australian Climate & Aesthetic
We’ve curated four key looks using Aakar Jewels that fit perfectly into the Australian aesthetic:
