In the jewelry industry, according to the design, gem, craft, material, output and other standards, it can be roughly divided into four categories: high-end jewelry, light luxury jewelry, fashion jewelry and art jewelry.
—Advanced Jewellery—
The Advanced Jewellery of high-end jewelry lies in high-level craftsmanship and high-end gemstones. The craftsmanship is hand-made by the craftsman, it takes a long time, and the gems used are scarce and hard to find. The combination of the two, it is destined that high-end jewelry is often unique jewelry art, can not be encountered. It is often seen by collectors at the beginning of the advent, or later in high-end auction exhibitions, which is a sign that the wealthy class enjoy a high-quality life.

Advanced Jewellery, whether it is a finished product or a production process, is a beautiful enjoyment. From the design, to the production, to the final presentation, after the careful craftsmanship of the skilled craftsmen, the original shiny gems become more artistic.
Advanced Jewellery customization usually selects some high-quality large-grain gemstones from all over the world, using the main stone as the main material, supplemented by superb inlay technology to create a unique boutique. For example, ENORE ANTON, a high-end jewellery brand, has launched many high-quality jewellery art boutiques endowed with cultural connotations, which are appreciated by industry peers and sought after by consumers.

High-end jewelry is destined to serve the people at the top of the pyramid. High-end customers are no longer satisfied with the value of jewelry itself. Under the premise of value, they pay more attention to the cultural taste and design connotation of the work.
—Light luxury jewelry—
Compared with high-end jewelry, light luxury jewelry is more close to the people, and it is the most commonly purchased category. All made of precious metals, mass production, realizable, small and exquisite, the most suitable for wearing on weekdays. The unique design concept is not as unprecedented as high-end jewelry, and it will not easily hit the money. It is the first choice of young white-collar workers.
Real gold and silver precious metals, natural gemstones with better color, and original design concept. Make light luxury jewelry more marketable, and it can be realized more easily.
Most of the "light jewelry" use some common or not too high quality gems, such as pearls, diamonds (some small carat diamonds are not expensive), crystals, tsavorite, etc. And the weight of gemstones is generally not large, mostly less than 1 carat. These products are not only small and beautiful, but also greatly reduce the cost of jewelry. Can be described as very cost-effective!
Although the style of "light jewelry" is simple, it can also be seen from their independent original design style. The focus of "light jewelry" is on "light". No matter whether it is inlaid gemstones, materials or materials, it may not be too grand, but all are "real materials".
—Fashion jewelry—
Fashion jewelry tends to be more exaggerated and is a choice to conform to fashion, mainly to match clothing. Modern is full, but because of the different shapes of fashion jewelry, often precious metals can not meet, so some gold-plated materials are more popular, and even use alloys to meet the needs of modeling. This type of jewelry is of low value, but it is often closely linked to big-name clothing, so you can often see them on fashion shows or fashion magazines.
Fashion jewelry is often not produced by a jewelry brand. Some fashion brands, such as Chanel, Dior, YSL, etc., will launch fashion jewelry with prominent styles and more exaggerated and pioneering designs.

—Art jewelry—
The premise of a piece of art jewelry is to be artistic, and then to express art through the carrier of jewelry. Simply put, art jewelry is the creation of jewelry by an artist, not a jewelry merchant. In addition to artistry, they must also meet the requirements of high-end jewellery: unique, precious stones, and universally recognized artistry and collection value.
For example, Dali loves various colored gems. He believes that each kind of stone has its symbolic meaning and "paints" with it-ruby represents enthusiasm and energy, peacock blue represents tranquility and ease, and azure is related to the subconscious. . He used gold, platinum, gems, pearls, corals and other noble materials to create hearts, lips, eyes, plants, animals, religious mythological symbols, and gave them a unique form of anthropomorphism. Each material is not only a choice of color or value, but also a deeper consideration of the meaning and symbolism of each gem or precious metal.
