The Top 10 Colors for Spring - and Jewelry To Match!
Pantone Fashion Report has nominated a host of tropical, pastel and vibrant colors for this spring's fashion. What we love about this is the fact that gemstones are as varied and versatile as the season's fashion designers. We've created artisan jewelry with this palette - as well as the season's latest jewelry trends - in mind to help you keep your neck, wrists and earlobes just as fashionable as that hot little printed number you've got your eye on. See our favorite picks below, or Shop By Color now.
Golden Olive
Green is associated with birth, health and nature and is therefore an obvious choice for one's spring ensemble. The Golden Olive hue that designers focused on this year is one of those retro colors seen so often in the back of your mother's closet and in Brady Bunch reruns. Low and behold, there are also a number of gemstones that boast Golden Olive tones - namely, Jade, Peridot, Citrine, Lime Chalcedony, Prehnite and Vesuvianite.
The key to wearing golden olive handmade jewelry is to use the color wisely. Use big with patterns that feature bits of golden olive (fyi: patterns are also big this year), as with this Vesuvianite Drop Necklace, right. |

Or, if you plan to stroll the boardwalk in a dress that is all Golden Olive, from the neck to the ankles, it would be wise to provide a little contrast with a lighter stone, as with these Peridot & Citrine Wrap Hoop Earrings, left. |

Spring Crocus
Just by virtue of its name, Spring Crocus is an apt addition to next season's color palette. The purplish hue is lively, flirty and a little bit nostalgic for those of us who remember that it was our favorite color (purple Jellies, anyone?) Dasha Boutique's handmade jewelry features stones like amethyst, fluorite, ametrine and iolite to help you get into the purple mood and to complement your brand new purple A-line.

Play around with this Amethyst Gemstone 36“ Lariat, right, for an accessory that can be worn everywhere from the flower shop to the Ritz. Wrap it multiple times for a casual look, or wear it long for a more graceful and elegant addition to the ensemble. |

Rococco Red
Rococco is the kind of red you want to wear to the Caribbean…and to the bar…and to the local grocery store. This girly, spicy tone has earned a spot on the spring fashion palette and multiple spots on our necks, ears and wrists just by virtue of the fact that is fun. Dasha Boutique handmade jewelry incorporates this fun color into all of our current designs using garnet, ruby and coral gemstones.

Pink Mist
Pink Mist is one of those colors that looks good on everyone in the summer because it brings out rosy cheeks, fresh tans and freckles. That goes doubly for Pink Mist gemstone jewelry, Dasha Boutique artisans have designed with all of the latest and greatest design trends.
Wear these handmade Rose Quartz Hammered Hoop Earrings day or night, with or without Pink Mist clothing as they go with anything and serve only to bring out the sparkle in your eye and the girl in your heart. The unusual shape of these gemstones complements a similarly naturally hammered hoop for an earthy accessory. |
