Diamond Jewellery Trend 2005 by DTC Thailand: Page 1 : 2
Mysticism, Magic and Metamorphosis
The recent release of the third Harry Potter movie and the now-completed Lord of the Rings trilogy have had cultural reverberations that have now reached the Diamond Right Hand Ring design. The effect of dreams, myths and magic can be seen in many forms. One example is the Smart car decorated with precious stones, which appear to have grown over it like the magic tangle of rosebushes over Sleeping Beauty's castle. The animal world remains a strong influence, but there is a move away from cheerful ladybirds towards the more sinister and mysterious snakes, wolves, chameleons and dragons.

Nature, Space and the Cosmic

The third trend is the renewed interest in nature and natural phenomena - of which the diamond is one. Nature is a source of emotion, discovery and enchantment. Part of that discovery is the exploration of space and the cosmos. The Milky Way's belt of planets and stars inspires the Diamond Right Hand Ring designers to find ways to connect different elements.
One of the major design trends is taking minerals straight from the earth without any human manipulation to change their shapes. This is the attraction of nature in its primary state - untouched by human hand.

The cosmic trend reveals itself in diamond jewellery shaped like planets or comets in white, pink or yellow gold, and slim line necklaces with chunky round stones to echo the Milky Way. Different elements, including diamonds, are combined to form the galactic aesthetic. Designers place rough diamonds in clean settings, enhancing the purity of the gem and underscoring its primary
