Undoubtedly, some of the jewels that will be on display in Sin City will reflect the 10 hues color authority Pantone believes will be prominent in the fashion and design industries this fall.
“This is a season of untypical colors, more reflective of the imagination and ingenuity, which makes for an artful collection of colors and combinations not bound by the usual hues for fall,” Pantone Color Institute Executive Director Leatrice Eiseman said back in February when Pantone issued the fall report.
This slideshow matches each of the fall colors with fine jewelry from a range of designers. Click through this gallery to see all the pieces.
