Something Blue...
Gray skies are gonna clear up...Last week, Benjamin Moore announced Lemon Sorbet as their color of 2013, and now Pantone has weighed in on the issue, naming Monaco Blue as their top choice. Second on their list is Dusk Blue followed by Emerald and Grayed Jade. Pantone says blue speaks to the fact we are living in more practical times, with great concern for the economy. Certainly, blue is classic, safe, traditional and some might even say, boring. Last year's Pantone pick was Tangerine Tango -- a more lively choice, for sure. When it comes to clothes and home decor, I'm not necessarily a blue girl. But, blues and greens have always been very popular among my jewelry clientele. Who doesn't love a big dose of blue bling to lift the spirits? That's my kind of medicine! So, here's hoping the only thing blue in your world ISN'T your mood. As for me, I can think of several ways to work the blue into your jewelry wardrobe...
pile on a stack of rings...
a statement cuff...
a pendant earring...
a painter's palette pendant...
ear clips...
mini hoop with diamonds...something blue for a bride, perhaps...
the ever-classic cocktail earring in aqua...
