Light up your life with
coral are infusing jewelry designs with new life
Imagine a world without color — all black and white and no joie de vivre. Color adds life, drama, flair, and energy to our world, and it infuses jewelry with a special beauty.
In a fashion world full of neutrals, little black dresses, and tone-on-tone ensembles, gemstone jewelry is not just an accessory, it is the magic finishing touch.
This year, jewelry designers are mixing things up with an expanding palette of hues found in lesser known gems like kunzite, heliodor (green beryl), Tanzanite, topaz, spinel in pink, blue, and
even gray hues, and the rosy glow of morganite. Even elite
designers known for their traditional emerald, sapphire, and ruby jewelry are exploring the beauty of more exotic (and in some cases, more accessible) gemstones, including rare specimens of cat’s eye moonstone, indicalite tourmaline, and Paraiba tourmaline. Coral is
also picking up in popularity, since the Pantone Color Institute named Living Coral the 2019 color of the year. Pantone describes it as “a warm hue with golden undertones, vibrant yet mellow, conveying comfort and buoyancy in an ever-shifting environment.”
