Warm Tones for Warm Weather

Bright is the motto of this Spring/Summer season. Two major colors that stand out are shades of orange and yellow based on Pantone's official selection for S/S 2012: Tangerine Tango and Solar Power.
There was a time when orange was too out there, too bold, not chic, reserved only for collegiate fashion. Now in the year 2012, the color of the moment is (officially called) Tangerine Tango and it's practically a fashion faux pas to go without.


If red is the color of passion, orange is its optimistic cousin. Associated with joy and celebration, it is an emotional stimulant that encourages laughter and self esteem.
Orange colors come in a scale of intensity amongst natural stones, especially in carnelian. It can go from light to intense deep orange within one stone. Such a piece would make a great compliment to a bold color block tangerine outfit.


While orange has the elements of yellow's happiness, yellow is just happy all the time! Solar Power can represent wisdom and a lust for life. It is an intellectual color, that will encourage individuality. The best stone to match almost perfectly is Citrine. A pair of large citrine drops would certainly be on trend this summer.


Large and chunky is still the style for 2012. Bib and collar necklaces are just as popular as long and layered "Jazz Age" looks. As always, in fashion, it is up to the individual to decide which trends rule. What trend has been your favorite so far?

Match Maker Series: Dried Herb

Get in tune with Mother Earth this year.

There is no better time to be fashionably green than now. Of all the colors featured, Dried Herb is what we will call the "Earthiest". One benefit of wearing this darker, muted green is that you can wear any type of metal jewelry - gold, silver, blackened silver, rose gold - it all works. Despite its muted look, wearing such a color during the summer season is more bold than wearing red or yellow. Its unexpected. For all the truly fashion savvy out there, Dried Herb also transitions well into this coming fall/winter season, which means you can keep some of those summer clothes and accessories and mix and match with your winter ones.


JewelMak's multi gemstone necklace color palette compliments the earthy green tone of Dried Herb. A mix of citrine, tourmaline, and smokey quartz stones can easily be worn into the Fall season. At 36 inches the length keeps it young and fresh. But if you're looking for something more traditional, JewelMak has a 2 row princess length version as well.



Being bold is not just about wearing bright colors like red and yellow. Being bold also can is just being different and forward thinking. Wearing a muted color during the summer is different and pairing it with sparkling gems is like icing on the cake.
