Top 10 Fall Colors in Jewelry

In spite of the heat that just won't let up, next week we begin September.  It may not be possible to bring out sweaters yet but we can take a peek at the Top 10 Pantone colors for Fall 2016 in beautiful jewelry.

Pantone says that "the desire for tranquility, strength and optimism have inspired a Fall 2016 color palette that is led by the Blue family...Blue skies represent constancy because they are always above us.  Grays give a feeling of stability, Red tones invite confidence and warmth, while the hot Pinkish Purples and Spicy Mustard Yellows suggest a touch of the exotic."

Let's see how that translates into jewelry!
