JEWELLERY is a woman’s companion. It depicts her mood and style. Jewellery can enhance one’s wardrobe, depending on the choice.

A casual outfit can be teamed with a beady necklace to jazz up one’s look.
Such necklaces are available at Anne’s Boutique on Maria’s Galleria in Kampala at sh25,000.

At Opa’s, shop number 6, Grand Imperial Hotel Shopping Arcade, there is jewellery ranging from sh45,000 and above.

A striking blue floral necklace with simple matching drop earrings is guaranteed to catch anyone’s eye. It can also dramatically transform a plain outfit.
More shopping spots include Jit Jewellers on Cham Towers, Kampala Road.

Ajay Dodia of Jit Jewellers, says they offer precious stones like emerald, diamond, tanzanite and pearls. Pearls are also available in white, cream and black, ranging from sh85,000 to sh95,000. However, pearl imitations are available in shops on Luwum and William streets at sh25,000 and above.

Webstar International opposite Stanbic Bank on Kampala Road is another spot where one can get good jewellery. Jane, the proprietor, makes the jewellery herself.

She makes jewellery on order for special occasions like introduction ceremonies and weddings. The cost of the jewellery varies depending on the detail that the customer wants.

Couples planning weddings can find engagement rings at Jit Jewellers. Here rings range from diamond stone, pearl to sapphire.

The more precious a stone, the more costly the engagement ring.
Engagement rings range from sh100,000 onwards.

Tips on buying Jewellery
When going to shop for a necklace, always make sure that you wear an appropriate neckline so that you can establish whether the choice suits you or not.

If you are looking for real gold, avoid jewellery labelled gold-plated or guaranteed. Genuine gold is usually labelled like 22k or 18k, depending the carats it has.

Do not hesitate to try on the jewellery. This enables you to establish whether the jewellery is suitable for you or not.

Image consultants advise that women with short necks should not shy away from drop earrings. These portray an illusion of a long neck.

Pearls can be worn to compliment your business suit.
