| Sumario: | Historically known to be savoured by the selected few, luxury products are famous
for not only their immaculate designs and artistry, but also how they make their
possessors feel once they are put on and the messages they convey to others who
see them. Luxury is not defined by what the product is, but rather what kind of an
experience the product offers and what meaning the brand symbolises. Hence, these
pieces of fine jewellery have ceased to be a way to accessorise outfits, they have
become status and wealth symbols in their own right. Therefore, luxury products
also provide satisfaction in the sense that their users feel good and accomplished
for having access to these items. Being able to be a member of the elite group of
consumers who are able to afford such extravagances; the people who have added,
and continue to add, such jewellery pieces to their collection do so not only because
they can, but because doing so elevates their status, rendering it unnecessary for
such iconic jewellery houses as Tiffany & Co., Cartier and Bulgari to have to rely on
overt communication techniques in their print ads to capture the attention of their
consumers. In this light, this article will focus on print advertisements by Tiffany &
Co., Cartier and Bulgari for their iconic jewellery pieces with regard to the techniques
used such as symbolism, intertextuality, and polysemy, and include a short analysis
for each advertisement by the author. |
