2014 Spring Beaded Jewelry Colors Trend Report

When the 2014 Spring Color Trend Report was released, Leatrice Eiseman, executive director of the Pantone Color Institute, was quoted as saying:

"This season, consumers are looking for a state of thoughtful, emotional and artistic equilibrium. While this need for stability is reflected in the composition of the palette, the inherent versatility of the individual colors allows for experimentation with new looks and color combinations."

To accomplish this, soft pastels are paired with vivid brights to create a colorful equilibrium. Inspired by blooming flowers, travels abroad and strong, confident women -the colors are all about showing off personality and individuality.

You could easily title these Spring 2014 colors as the 'Facets of a Woman', with each one showcasing the various facets of a woman’s personality – strong, determined, vulnerable, creative, sophisticated, radiant.

There are three versatile pastels, drawn straight from nature's background, that when creatively combined with one of the bolder hued shades creates a modern twist on the traditional. These new 'neutrals' are: placid blue, violet tulip and hemlock.

Below we have outlined the most closely matched Swarovski Crystal color for each Spring 2014 color trend:

Placid Blue:  Swarovski Crystal Blue Shade
Violet Tulip:  Swarovski Crystal Tanzanite
Hemlock:  Swarovski Crystal Chrysolite
Paloma:  Swarovski Crystal Black Diamond
Sand:  Swarovski Crystal Light Colorado Topaz
Freesia:  Swarovski Crystal Sunflower
Cayenne:  Swarovski Crystal Padparadscha
Celosia Orange:  Swarovski Crystal Tangerine
Dazzling Blue:  Swarovski Crystal Capri Blue
Radiant Orchid:  Swarovski Crystal Lilac Shadow

As with any color trend report, most Spring colors can carry over into Summer and the same holds true for Fall-Winter colors. We may have already welcomed the first day of Summer 2014, but these Springtime color combinations will surely transition easily into the hot summer days ahead.

Our HOT color combinations below showcase beautiful Swarovski Crystals designs by Crystal Allure Jewelry.

Pairs violet tulip with radiant orchid:

Crystal Fuchsia Dyed Jade Gemstone Beaded Earrings (E274-F)

Pairs paloma with dazzling blue:

Midnight Garden Teaberry Sapphire Crystal Beaded Lanyard (L105)

Pairs hemlock with sand:

Golden Pink Rose Floral Artbead Crystal Mom Charm Bracelet (B086)

With all these tantalizing colors to choose from it's difficult to pick just one favorite. Which color is your favorite?

NEW Teal Circle of Hope Ovarian Cancer Awareness Necklace

It was recently reported Pierce Brosnan's daughter, Charlotte, succumbed to ovarian cancer at the young age of 41 years. It is the same disease that killed her mother and grandmother. Our hearts go out to the Brosnan family in this time of sorrow.

Ovarian cancer has long been called “The Silent Killer”, because it usually isn’t discovered until its advanced stages. However, early-stage ovarian cancer does produce symptoms. Help spread the word: Ovarian Cancer -"It Whispers -So Listen!"

Listen to your body. Get the facts.
