Be it jewellery and costume ornaments, in Chengdu, the trends keep changing every year. Where individuality is supreme, gold and silver jewellery are not always what they have in mind.
But its crystals topping the popularity with the current fashion, adding a simplicity and refinement that many want to suggest with the clothes they wear.
Crystals, say some wearers, can imbue the wearer with greater prosperity and good health.
They come in different types and sizes like rock quartz, rose quartz, amethyst and golden and green rutilated quartz.
Shoppers are drawn by the dealers at times claiming crystals can influence fortunes and the future, suggesting that they are somehow linked with horoscope predictions.
Among the several mystical functions identified golden rutilated quartz is supposed to bring fortune and rose quartz is a magnet for love. For those with romantic bent of mind, crystal bracelets are sought after - largely because they are relatively inexpensive.
Though used as accessories, crystals for most occasions, are attractive without being too flashy. Both men and women of all ages, whether during work or leisure are found to be donning crystals of all colours and shapes. |
