Marsala jewels for 2015
As I’m sure you’ve heard, probably multiple times over Pantone named Marsala, a dusky, earthy red color, as its hue of the year for 2015. And while it’s gotten a range of reactions from media, there was a lot of positive feedback coming from the team here, including yours truly.
While I have nothing against Radiant Orchid--in fact, I really liked it--or even Emerald before that, I’m happy not only to see a new color move into the limelight, but also for it to be a hue that I think will be incredibly versatile for design and style.
Marsala looks to me to be a color that many people will be able to wear and could bring a few different gemstones to the forefront, particularly various shades of garnet.
Here are a few gems that fall in the same family as the hue, and of course, 10 great jewels featuring those stones.
Garnet
Anna Sheffield’s “Bea Arrow” garnet studs
These new “FitzRoy the Cat” earring jackets featuring garnets are from designer Wendy Brandes.
Effy’s garnet and diamond pendant
Estenza’s drop earrings feature rose quartz at the bottom and a garnet on top
Goshwara’s garnet and orange chalcedony ring
Tourmaline
Omi’s pink tourmaline and diamond earrings set in 18-karat rose gold
Yael Design’s rubellite and diamond ring
Spinel
McTeigue & McClelland’s spinel “Flora Embrace” ring in 18-karat bloomed yellow gold and platinum
Ruby
Sutra’s diamond, spinel, and ruby tassel earrings
Rhodonite
From Armenta’s “Old World” collection is this blackened sterling silver station beaded necklace with rhodonite, Italian beads and champagne diamonds
