Each year, Pantone declares a specific colour to be the ”Pantone Colour of the Year”. This colour (along with a range of other colours that match or contrast particularly well with the chosen colour) serves as a guideline, especially for the fashion industry, when deciding on the shades that will characterise upcoming fashion. Pantone is not all-powerful and not every colour they choose hits the mark every year, but there is a strong tendency for them to be very skilled at predicting (or even dictating) which colour will become popular next year.

This year they have chosen the colour “Greenery”, which is a lovely yellowish-green shade. As they describe it themselves: “Greenery symbolises, with its refreshing and revitalising colour, new beginnings”. So true – especially since green is such a wonderfully life-affirming colour! Not least because most plants that grow (and thrive) are green, and therefore we naturally associate the colour with health and growth. In the USA, their dollar bills are green, so there “the green stuff” also means prosperity – another form of growth.

Perhaps we here at Castens were ahead of the green trend – or perhaps I and our customers simply love the colour green. Regardless of the reason, we have already created many types of jewellery with green gemstones – especially peridot or olive-coloured diamond, which are the stones that come closest to ”Greenery's” yellowish-green hue.

They say that green is good for the eyes, and we think that when it sparkles, it's even better! Pantone's Greenery is so beautiful in combination with cool silver and especially glowing gold. In contrast to the warmth of gold, ”Greenery” radiates optimism and a bubbling positivity that works wonders for most people's mood 🙂
Most of the jewellery shown in this article are one-offs, and sold to a happy customer. Therefore, they cannot (any longer) be seen in my shop. However, my crew and I are constantly creating new jewellery for the display cases and the customers who also feel inspired by these juicy harbingers of spring.
