Match Maker Series: Aurora

In honor of the first week of sunny days this year, today's select color for the Match Maker series is the Pantone Spring/Summer 2010 color Aurora. This season, bright yellow is best matched with equally happy colors. Some would contrast it with darker hues in colder tones set in gold, which would also work nicely. Deep purples or rich dark blues would certainly suffice and give any outfit of yellow a serious, harder look. But we're moving into the season of fun in the sun, so contrasts should be bright and fun.


A fun contrast is JewelMak's magnesite turquoise necklace pictured above. It's much like wearing a print. Against the bright yellow, this necklace definitely pops.

Of course not everyone wears yellow so boldly. You may wear prints featuring yellow. In that case, there's nothing wrong with being monochromatic either.


These hoop earrings from JewelMak's "Eclipse" collection have a texture that gives them a subtle statement. The light gemstones set within the gold overlay keeps the look light.

Match Maker Series: Amparo Blue

The Match Maker Series is dedicated to showcasing a choice color along with a select jewelry style that either match or compliment the color. Some choices may be safe and some may seem unconventional, but stylish.

We begin our Match Maker series with the color Amparo Blue.

Amparo Blue is pretty close to your basic blue and is among the ten colors featured in Pantone's Fashion Colors for Spring/Summer 2010. Blue in general is a very commonly worn color. It looks good on most skin tones and is the universal color category for all things "Boy". Lucky for us, fashion does not discriminate when it comes to its textiles. Therefore, neither does jewelry. Our complimentary selection for today's choice color of Amparo Blue is JewelMak's three row necklace with Magnesite Turquoise, Turquoise coated Mother of Pearl, and Heminorphine.



The reasoning behind this choice is that this style takes care of the layering for you, yet it is still at a conservative length. It would not be a traditional choice, but it would definitely add an edgier feel if you were to match this piece with a classic blue shift dress. The white of the heminorphine and the off blue green mix of the magnesite turquoise give a good contrast. Give it a try!
