Granted, fashion has a strong impact on your day-to-day lives – even if, sometimes, we don’t really realize it. In fact, fashion and life are tightly connected. For instance, a green dial watch was unthinkable, the mere thought of opting for a beautiful watch with a green dial would have granted you some puzzled looks.
However, as soon as Pantone announced the greenery colour of the year, everything changed. Green-hue jewellery was adorning the wrists of every certifiable style icon, making us eager to get one for ourselves as well. Emerald green and peridot green suddenly became very popular as jewellery items, as well as watch fashions like the samples below:
Since 1962, Pantone has designers and fashion connoisseurs alike quiver with excitement every December. This time, the Pantone Color Institute has gone easy on the jewellery trade with its 2022 pick for colour of the year. In selecting Very Peri—“a dynamic periwinkle blue hue with a vivifying violet-red undertone” that combines “the faithfulness and constancy of blue with the energy and excitement of red.
Veri Peri is here to tribalize the top jewellery trends of 2022 with a refreshingly new shade that effortlessly complements every skin tone. The beautiful violet colour of Veri Peri will complement coloured gemstones in the jewellery industry very well. Because many gemstones like tanzanite, amethyst and the lighter coloured amethysts (lavender amethyst) will feature in this year’s trends.
At Deonne le Roux, we have a variety of jewellery to compliment the beautiful colour including tanzanite, amethyst, lavender amethyst, and more. Each and every one of the aforementioned gemstones will undoubtedly push you outside of your hue-driven comfort zone and into the expanding world of alternative jewellery trends.
Tanzanite is hailed as one of the rarest gemstones in the world and one of the most mesmerizing ones. The stone has the striking ability to reflect different colours, ranging from light blues and lilacs to deep indigos and violets. This ability alone makes it a great candidate for everyone who wants to “adopt” 2022’s Pantone colour of the year, Veri Peri. In fact, Tanzanite is 1,000 times rarer than diamond. It’s been said that these stones carry an array of positive and mystical attributes.
Amethysts manage to creep into the jewellery trends list almost every year. For many, this whimsical, rich purple gemstone is symbolic of spirituality and devotion. Others simply get mesmerized by its royal character. While amethysts have been adorning the most gorgeous engagement rings for quite some time, they have also found their way into other jewellery styles like bracelets, earrings, and necklaces.
The gemstone touted as a “Stone of Wisdom” was surprisingly not a very popular option as many people preferred the traditional, darker colour of amethyst. However, over the past few years, this luminous purple gemstone has grown massively in popularity. In 2022, it’s a fantastic way to embrace top jewellery trends as it’s very close to Pantone’s Veri Peri colour of the year, especially for women who covet a soft feminine look. The pink/purple colour of the stones goes perfectly with white golde
