2011 Fall Beaded Jewelry Colors Trend Report

At the start of every new season, Pantone unveils their latest color choices, of the moment, in fashion. Their decision is made by surveying the designers of fashion week to identify the most “directional” colors. If you’re looking for new affordable ways to incorporate color into your wardrobe this season, look to our beaded jewelry interpretation of Pantone’s color pallet.

“Taking cues from the great masters, sepia tones of old Hollywood, Chinese opera, cityscapes and countryside, designers are paying close attention to texture, contrast and color for fall 2011 – pairing menswear with feminine twists, warm prints with cool metals, incorporating both old and new influences, and creating an intriguing balance between colors.”

The hit colors for 2011 are: Bamboo, Emberglow, Honeysuckle, Phlox, Cedar, Deep Teal, Coffee Liqueur, Nougat, Orchid Hush, and Quarry.

As you can see, our intrepretation is a carryover from the 2010 fall colors (Chocolate Truffle, Woodbine and Purple Orchid) and that is because we see a similarity in the colors with 2011's Coffee Liqueur, Nougat and Phlox. Although honeysuckle was the "color of the year", we took our inspiration from the traditional warmer, deeper tones of the autumn season.
