Colors that’ll be hot when the temperature drops

It might be hard to imagine with the mercury topping 90, but it’s time to start thinking about fall trends. Here are 10 pieces of jewelry inspired by Pantone’s fall palette.


Echoing Pantone’ “Dried Herb” color, these Scarab earrings from Silvia Furmanovich are 18-karat gold set with gray agate and light brown diamonds. They retail for $5,600.
New York--Pulling from the hues seen on the fashion runways and in designers’ collections for 2015, color institute Pantone has outlined a palette of 10 shades that will be prominent this fall.

“The fall 2015 palette is rooted in multi-faceted, androgynous colors that can be worn to portray effortless sophistication,” says Leatrice Eiseman, executive director at Pantone.
 
She adds that designers are paying homage to progressive moments in American history--from the Roaring ‘20s to the bohemian hippie and modernists of the ‘60s and ‘70s--which translates to jewelry via long necklaces and drop earrings, earthy tones and abstractly shaped pieces and design concepts.
