Lights, Brights, & Burgundy! It's the 2012 Emmys!

It's the biggest night for prime time TV and all the biggest stars of the small screen came out in their Sunday best to celebrate all of television, even the programs that require no mental activity whatsoever.

It was a colorful red carpet this year with TV's leading ladies stepping out in bright yellow, red, green, and blue. Complimenting those ensembles was a resurgence in statement jewelry; most impressive were the earrings.

Earrings are truly one size fits all so its the best go to jewelry piece, but in the past couple of years the red carpet has been pretty bare of unique and sculptural earrings. This time, nothing was held back.

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.
