As a jewelry designer it is important to pay attention to what is popular in fashion and major market trends. One of the major trend forecasts given each year is Pantone’s color of the year. This year’s color is is Greenery.

According to Pantone, “Greenery is a fresh and zesty yellow-green shade that evokes the first days of spring when nature’s greens revive, restore and renew. Illustrative of flourishing foliage and the lushness of the great outdoors, the fortifying attributes of Greenery signals consumers to take a deep breath, oxygenate and reinvigorate.

Greenery is nature’s neutral. The more submerged people are in modern life, the greater their innate craving to immerse themselves in the physical beauty and inherent unity of the natural world. This shift is reflected by the proliferation of all things expressive of Greenery in daily lives through urban planning, architecture, lifestyle and design choices globally. A constant on the periphery, Greenery is now being pulled to the forefront – it is an omnipresent hue around the world.”

We are inspired by the meaning behind why Pantone chose Greenery and want to incorporate it in our jewelry designs. Some green gemstones that have the right shade of green are Jade, Amazonite, Chrysoprase and Emeralds. Greenery is sure to be a big hit in jewelry sales this year so stop in and get your green beads today!
