Fashion icon Coco Chanel once said, "The best color in the whole world, is the one that looks good, on you." :-)
Simple, yet profound, her statement emphasize that fashion,
not matter the trends, is very much a personal style.
In the new 2014 year, color - in all its varieties - offers a wide spectrum of choices, not only
in a splendid array of hues but also in the awesome combination with
others. Based on Pantone’s fashion color report the start of the year 2014 will be defined by a combination of soft
pastels paired with vivid brights to create a beautiful color balance & equilibrium.
Now, you will agree with me that it is almost superfluous to
say that color is "in", frankly has it ever been "out"? Yet,
with no doubt, the "winter/spring" seasons traditionally favor neutral
colors like grays, browns, blacks, sparkling whites and soft pastels. I am so happy to hear that this year, new
splashes of high intensity color will show up.
This new year will hail clever combinations of pastels with infusions
of vivid, crisp colors. Dazzling blues, lightly toasted sandy neutrals, spring foliage
greens and nostalgic purples/grays rank in the top tones used by designers in
their collections, followed by high-pitched-spicy reds, blazing tropical yellows,
energetic, sophisticated oranges. A delightful/fun
palette to play with!
Besides new colors and their combinations, textural
contrasts and mixtures of materials, influences and patterns will still
maintain a focal direction. After all,
there is still attention on items that
look handmade and are naturally rustic, imperfect and beautiful.

Today, women want jewelry they can change to fit their
moods, as well as pierces they can wear every day that's easy transition from day
to night. There is so much fun in
finding pieces that are playful, adaptable, contemporary, easy to wear and
reasonably priced. In the case of
earrings, this is true, regardless of you having pierced or non-pierced ears!
So, let’s claim 2014 to be the year about your personal
style and about expressing what makes you beautiful and unique. In a world where products are turned out in
mass quantities, we hope you embrace our pierced and clip earrings as items
that will speak to you and who you are.
Cheers to a wonderful & colorful 2014!
