At the end of each year, the Pantone Color Institute announces the new Color of the Year. The Pantone Color System is the world color matching system. Actually, it dictates what colors to be the most popular this year. Designers use this information in creating their new collections. As jewelry designers, we definitely need to employ this knowledge. So, what Pantone colors 2021 in pearl jewelry would mean?
For 2021, the Pantone colors are Ultimate Gray and Illuminating Yellow. The Pantone experts have chosen these two colors for their warmth and dependability.
What is so peculiar about these two colors? In general, yellow color will make you happy and optimistic. Many consider a yellow color as the brightest and most energizing of the warm colors. We associate it with happiness, sunshine and hope. By the way, in Japan, yellow color represents courage. We need all these today!
While gray color is neutral. We, designers, consider gray as a color of elegance and balance. Thus, these two colors will perfectly match!
Moreover, it means that yellow gold will be very popular this year. Because it is yellow!
Pantone colors in jewelry
How should we utilize Pantone colors 2021 in pearl jewelry, in our creations? We may do this differently. First, as you know, pearls may have different colors. These include yellow and grey. I mean natural colors.
For instance, South Sea pearl may have amazing natural yellow golden color. While the gorgeous Tahitian pearls may display silvery greyish colors.
As for the freshwater pearls, we don’t find them in these colors naturally. Although we may find lavender pearls with very strong silvery-greyish overtone. On the other hand, freshwater pearls may be treated or dyed. As a result of such a treatment, we get beautiful pearls of various colors.
Of course, any treatment (dying in our case) must be disclosed. And, as a consumer, you should know what you are paying for.
We have other options to apply the Pantone colors 2021 in pearl jewelry. We enjoy pairing pearls with colored gemstones. This helps to create a unique piece of modern pearl jewelry.
Many gemstones may be found in yellow or grey colors. As for the yellow gemstones, we may mention, among others, citrine and amber, yellow sapphire and tourmaline. While labradorite and moonstone display grey color.
Of course, each jewelry designer has his own preference of the gemstones. As for us, we, at Jewelry Olga, often use yellow citrine or yellow carnelian in our pearl jewelry.
For instance, for this unique pearl bracelet we have chosen freshwater pearls of various shapes and colors. We use white Chinese Kasumi pearls, a big bronze reborn keshi pearl. In addition, we pick a dark lavender silvery Chinese Kasumi pearl…. Moreover, we add a rare flower-shaped golden pearl. The latter has an unusual shape, beautiful golden shining color and amazing luster. Thus, it becomes the center of the composition in our pearl bracelet.
Actually, mixing these pearls, we want to demonstrate the pearls diversity and their beauty. I would like to emphasize that this collection of pearl bracelets is unique. As the pearls used for this collection are exceptional. Mainly, we have chosen baroque pearls or keshi pearls. And usually each of these pearls has one-of-a-kind shape and color. Often, it is difficult to find matching baroque or keshi pearls for a pair of earrings.
Recently, a customer has asked me to reproduce a unique pearl bracelet. He has seen on our website, but the bracelet has been sold. Believe me I have had difficulty to find pearls to make a similar bracelet!
So, we will use Pantone colors 2021 in pearl jewelry that we will be creating. A combination of yellow and grey is really beautiful and inspiring. You will definitely enjoy it!
