Usher In Spring With Beautiful Blue Gems

Spring is less than a week away! Pantone - the guru of fashion color - places an emphasis on the cooler, softer side of the color spectrum in their Spring 2015 Color Report and blues play a major role. So bring out your blues and welcome spring!

Aquamarine - which also happens to be the birthstone for the month of March - is the lead color for women's fashions this spring. Pantone says, "Aquamarine is an airy blue with a dreamy feel. Cool and calming, ethereal Aquamarine is a shade with a wet and watery feel. Open and expansive, this restful blue also acts as a stress reducer." Aquamarine gemstones are a perfect complement to those new spring fashions.

Scuba Blue is also on the fashion palette for spring. "An invigorating turquoise, Scuba Blue conveys a sense of carefree playfulness. Even though a cool shade, the vibrancy of Scuba Blue adds a splash of excitement to the palette. Scuba Blue offers a feeling of escape as it is reminiscent of a tropical ocean." We suggest turquoise and blue topaz gems to add a pop of this dazzling blue!

Classic Blue, a deeper, richer blue - the color of sapphires - is another blue on the spring palette. Eiseman says, "Reliable and thoughtful, Classic Blue inspires calm, confidence and harmony. Serving as an anchor to the Spring/Summer 2015 palette, Classic Blue is a shade that is calm and reliable. While sapphires come to mind first, don't forget other deep blue gems like London Blue topaz or lapis when looking for jewelry to pair with your spring styles.
