Spring 2010 colour trends

With every season there are new styles and colours that are "in fashion" and this is true for jewellery trends as well.
The colours that are expected to be the trend for spring 2010 from the Pantone colour fashion report are described as follows:

" turquoise, tomato puree, fusion coral, violet, Tuscany, aurora, mparo blue, pink champagne, dried herb and eucalyptus.
Taking a closer look at the tones, falling on the more vibrant side of the spectrum is turquoise, a cool, tropical hue; bright Amparo blue, a navy-esque tone with warmth; romantic violet; greenish-yellow aurora; bold and provocative fusion coral; and tangy tomato puree, the season’s classic red.
Among the neutrals forming the season’s color backbone is the delicate, wispy pink champagne; Tuscany, a warm beige; dried herb, the ultimate green neutral, which will pair well with all other colors; and cool eucalyptus, a classic, practical gray."

Check out the website http://www.pantone.com/downloads/articles/pdfs/Pantone-FCR-sp2010f.pdf to see examples of these colours.

If these are what we will see in clothing, then I need to think about complimenting them when creating new designs. Some colours are classic and always popular, but often when there is a new trend you just don't have anything in your collection to wear with the item you just bought. That is where someone like me might be able to help :)

Custom pieces

After my last show I had a few people contact me with requests for custom pieces. I am happy to take orders for something in particular that people are looking for, do up a mock piece to show them how it would look and if they like the photo I can complete it and send it to them.

Custom orders are welcome !

Here is a photo of a beach glass bracelet I made upon request- the woman bought 2 at the show for gifts but needed a third.

Great show in Cannington

Back in August I had a great show in Cannington. A really good turn out and I sold almost all of my inventory in the 2 days which was a nice surprise :)

A wide variety of ages appreciated my display and I had requests for some custom pieces as well. Definitely worth the effort to head north for this show!
