How “Hot” Gemstone Jewelry Trends Are Created
Did you ever wonder how “hot” gemstone jewelry colors are determined for upcoming fashion seasons? Coinciding with New York fashion week, Pantone Color Institute releases a highly anticipated seasonal color report. This report is used by all types of designers – from fashion to home décor to graphics – as a definitive guide for fashionable color selections.
Pantone’s Fall/Winter 2010 Report lists 10 warm to cool shades (pictured left) as the design palette for Fall and Winter fashion apparel. These trendy colors will be used in fashion accessories and ready-to-wear jewelry too.
For jewelry designers, the seasonal guide tells them what color and type of gemstones can best compliment fashion fabrics and textures. In ready-to-wear and production jewelry, classic best-selling designs are commonly updated to new color trends by simply changing out gemstones, based on color.
The forecasted Fall and Winter 2010 colors range from glowing fanta orange to elegant chocolate truffle. This broad and colorfully bright palette offers many opportunities for lesser known, yet very affordable gems to take center stage at retail jewelry counters this year.
Color guidelines provide an easy reference list to identify color-matching and color-contrasting loose gemstones such as shown below for Pantone’s Top 10 Fall/Winter colors. Jewelry-grade gems are usually purchased at wholesale gem shows and from wholesale gemstone suppliers.
