Pairing Jewelry With Pantone’s Spring Shades
Senior Editor Brecken Branstrator takes the 10 hues of the season, according to Pantone, and pairs them with complementary gems.
Dare I say it? It finally feels like the warm weather is here to stay. (Sorry ahead of time if I just jinxed us.)
I love springtime and how refreshing and rejuvenating it can feel as everyone, especially in New York, finally starts to come out of hibernation and wants to soak up every bit of sun they can get.
I’ve always especially loved the colors of spring. They make me think of the pastel dresses I used to pick for Easter mass and the hidden eggs on hunts or, better yet, in your Easter basket filled with candy.
The colors Pantone predicted would be prevalent this season are vivid versions of the traditional Easter pastels, providing yellows, pinks and blues that can pack a punch, as well as some more sedated hues.
To celebrate these colors, I wanted to do another blog post where I paired them with gemstones that might complement them well, making for a perfect clothing-accessories color-blocked look.
A bright, buttery yellow like this would go perfectly with other very vibrant hues, like the energizing pink shades found in spinel, sapphires and tourmaline.
I love the name for its ability to make me think of being home in North Carolina while the trees are in bloom, and I love the color’s soft, subtle hue. I’m pairing it with the whites of moonstone and some quartzes for a clean look.
I imagine with any clothes this color, which makes me think of business wear, they would best be paired with the same crisp light hues of pearls.
The idea of color-blocking shades of the same color thrills me, so I would pair Island
It’s a basic color wheel rule here, but I love seeing green paired with the shades on the opposite side like purple, which includes amethyst, some tanzanite and sapphires, among others.
For bright pink stones, I’m thinking about my all-time favorite, spinel; those beautiful shades of sapphire; and tourmaline.
With this one, rather than pairing it one with another bright color, I like the idea of putting this striking shade of pink with the no-nonsense look of black to make a statement.
Other gems that could go well are the very rare, and very cool, gray moonstone, as well as the rather unique look of a gray spinel.
There are some great stones that can offer a nice brown that’s not too dark or washed out, like zircon or opals, but a brown color palette also provides the opportunity to get into fun minerals like fossils and agate.
I think this deep blue goes well with other strong gem tones, so I’m pairing it with the vivid greens found in emeralds, tsavorite and the like.
