How to Co-ordinate Fall's Hot Color With Jewelry
Autumn's Pink Garments Go Well with Brown Gemstones
Oct 1, 2008
Flipping through the September 2008 edition of In Style magazine, it's obvious advertisers are falling in line with this color selection. From Target’s Mossimo line ranging from medium pink to fuchsia to Marc Jacobs’ gorgeous shell pink silk crepe dress, this hue is one that is getting a lot of play. Ditto Valentino and Givenchy, who are showing garments in this color that are ruffled, layered, or sleekly tailored.
Pink Hues for Fall 2008
What are the choices this fall for pink? Think shell to icy pink to rose petals to bright cotton candy to fuchsia. It’s a feminine color, yet pink combines so well with darker, masculine shades.
Pink Loves Brown
Hands down, it’s never wrong to combine pink with brown gemstones and gold-toned jewelry. One item to watch, however, is the fact that many designers are teaming pink with ruffles. Elaborate jewelry with ruffled garments is overkill. A lot of ruffles: keep jewelry simple. Wearing a top with ruffled tiers as shown in the Target.com Mossimo image accompanying this article? Wear a tiger's eye gemstone necklace to fill in the expanse of skin in the chest area.
Brown Gemstones
There is quite an array of inexpensive brown semi-precious gemstones. Here are just a few:
- Brown topaz – topaz is quite often mined as light brown and then heat-treated to create other colors. As it’s readily available in brown, it’s quite inexpensive.
- Smoky quartz –due to its abundance, smoky quartz is also very inexpensive.
- Tiger’s Eye – an opaque gemstone that shows rippled and wavy bands of various shades of brown
