To help inspire some trendy designs for the new year, I put together some collages of necklace and bracelet picks with coordinating outfits for day and evening. It was tough to decide which of the ten colors to drop, and how to mix and match the remaining nine into perfectly harmonious trios.
I started with Monaco Blue, Poppy Red, and this year’s neutral - Linen. It’s a wonderfully peachy nude that has just the right amount of warmth, and would have looked great with any of the other picks. I chose the two boldest colors for this trio to leave room for the more tropical colors, and ended up with a fun nautical theme. Round beads, buttons, and bangles bring everything together with plenty of curves.
I can’t resist a fruity palette, so Tender Shoots, African Violet, and Nectarine seemed like the perfect trio. This collage is all about frilly texture softness, and plentiful bunches. I fell in love with the chunky faux-shell necklace at first sight, and paired it with lots of lacy fabrics and seed shapes.
Finally, Emerald takes center stage with some geometric and tribal shapes. Dusk Blue and Lemon Zest bring lots of tropical flavor, perfect for an early spring getaway. Grayed Jade was the only color that didn't make an appearance, although it is a lovely muted green that deserves a lot of attention this year. I'll be sure not to neglect it at bead trio time!
Which Spring 2013 color is your favorite?
