Brights are expected in the summer, but the deep, saturated vibrancy of jewel tones is so much cooler. Show a bit of your wild side by displaying, wearing, or decorating with the rich hues of nature’s hottest gems. Deep purples, blues, and emeralds have so much depth and saturation, they give me visions of a Moroccan-themed summer party. Mixing and matching them is a fabulous way to style such dimensional hues.

Fall color's

Just thought Id share Pantone's color trend for fall. 

So rich and vibrant, I just love it!

Smoky Quartz, Green Onyx, Carnelian, Labradorite, Citrine, Amethyst, & Peridot are just a few gemstones that would go fabulously with this color palette.
