Empowerment through Adornment: How Jewelry Defines the Modern Woman

Today’s woman is empowered and strong – much more independent than her forerunners. But that doesn’t mean that women don’t still enjoy being adorned. In 2022, the worldwide market for costume jewelry was pegged at USD $40.98 billion. Projections suggest that by 2031, this figure is anticipated to climb to USD $79.22 billion, with a consistent compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 7.6% throughout the 2023–2031 forecast span.

Timeless Jewelry Collection, a Texas-based ecommerce retailer of traditional Indian and Pakistani jewelry, believes that in an era defined by dynamic shifts in fashion, cultural norms, and self-expression, jewelry remains a steadfast symbol of identity, heritage, and empowerment. Ornate accessories can also embody stories, traditions, and personal narratives, particularly for the modern woman. 

Amidst this mosaic of contemporary femininity, Laila Sachedina, the passionate entrepreneur behind Timeless Jewelry Collection, stands out as an advocate for the transformative power of adornment. Through her collection, she echoes the sentiment that jewelry, especially pieces with deep-rooted cultural significance, can embolden today’s woman, making her feel distinct, potent, and resplendent.

Historically, jewelry has been an integral part of human civilization, not merely as decorative items but as symbols of status, wealth, and even spirituality. Ancient civilizations, including those of India and Pakistan, revered jewelry for its ability to denote one’s place in society, one’s marital status, and even one’s spiritual inclinations. Today, while its role has evolved, jewelry still remains a potent symbol of self-expression and identity.

For the modern woman, navigating a world that often demands duality—balancing traditional expectations with contemporary aspirations—jewelry can be both an anchor and a compass. An anchor, because it grounds her in her roots, reminding her of where she comes from and the traditions that have shaped her. A compass, as it guides her forward, allowing her to carve out her unique path in a rapidly changing world.

Laila Sachedina’s journey mirrors this duality. While she thrives as a PR executive, her heartstrings tug her towards her cultural roots, and her passion for traditional Indian and Pakistani jewelry. This personal connection to her heritage translated into the Timeless Jewelry Collection. Her selection is an assortment of beautiful pieces, but also a carefully curated collection of narratives that resonate deeply with those who wear them.

“The modern woman is multifaceted,” Laila says. “Just as a cut diamond reflects light in numerous directions, today’s woman plays numerous roles—mother, partner, executive, artist. Through jewelry, she can express these myriad facets of her identity.”

Laila’s focus on traditional jewelry is especially significant in today’s context. Fast fashion is not the idea here. “When you think about jewelry, you might get mired down in trends,” she says. “Rubber bracelets and huge hair bows from the 80s. Dark lipstick and chokers in the 90s. And so forth. These designs aren’t intended to be passing fads; they are based on ancient designs, styles that have stood the test of time.”

The meticulous designs of traditional jewelry stand out for their beauty and for the stories they tell. Every curve, every bead, every etching speaks of a craft passed down through generations, of artisans dedicating their lives to perfection, and of a culture that values artistry and expression. 

These are replicated in the pieces offered by Timeless Jewelry Collection – and at a price point that doesn’t burn a hole in the pocket. “Empowerment through adornment shouldn’t be the privilege of a few,” says Laila. “Beauty, heritage, and empowerment should be accessible to everyone.”

Operating primarily online, her lean business model ensures that quality doesn’t come at exorbitant prices. The modern consumer seeks value, authenticity, and meaning in their purchases, and Timeless Jewelry Collection delivers on all fronts.

And as more and more industries and consumers are increasingly concerned about sustainability and ethical production, having an online business – without costly overhead – is a step towards conscious consumption. The company also utilizes sustainability in its shipping practices.

For women of Indian and Pakistani descent donning a piece from the Timeless Jewelry Collection is a celebration of their roots, a nod to their heritage, and a statement of their individuality. Whether it’s the grandeur of a Polki necklace, the delicate charm of Jhumkas, or the intricate allure of a Kundan set, each piece serves as a bridge between the past and the present, the traditional and the modern.

As the world evolves and the role of women within it shifts and expands, symbols of empowerment and identity become even more crucial. Through the Timeless Jewelry Collection, Laila Sachedina offers modern women a way to celebrate their roots while embracing their contemporary selves. “Jewelry, especially traditional jewelry, allows a modern woman to feel both empowered and beautiful,” Laila asserts.
