heart_Shapped_Glasses_beach

I know it can be tempting to jump the gun on, well, just about every holiday or upcoming season…I know Fall is just around the corner and I’m certainly as excited it as y’all are…cozy sweaters, stunning foliage and pumpkin ev-e-ry-thing…. but wait…let’s pump the brakes for just a sec!

Fall and all of its delicious and natural gorgeousness will be here before we know it, so let’s take the time to enjoy the last bit of summer time fun while we can!

I’m more of a “be here now” – try and enjoy the moment – type of gal…so in an attempt to hold onto every last precious moment of summer and all it’s glory, here are some color inspirations and jewelry designs that we can admire, make and wear before it’s too late!

Last week we had a surge in demand & popularity for the beautiful Swarovski Crystal 6731 Sea Snail Pendant. They are available in many colors and are quite unique.

How Is Color Affecting You?

Colors-that-make-us-happy-banner_2

How Are the Subtle Influences of Colors Affecting You???

The psychological and emotional power of color is influential, maybe even more than you think. Specific colors that we are drawn to, echo our personalities, illuminating a deeper story about our true nature, our deepest desires and what we want to communicate to the world.

It’s important to choose colors wisely. Colors have an influence on our thoughts, they stir emotions and even alter our stress levels. As jewelry designers, you can harness the energy of color, impacting ourselves and the people who wear your creations. Come along on a vivid journey of inspiration, as we explore three colors and their intriguingly dynamic qualities!

ROSE WATER OPAL

Keywords: Femininity / Innocence / Sincerity / SophisticationPink_Color_inspiration_Rose_Water_Opal
Rose Water Opal is a soft and gentle hue in a Swarovski Crystal. It signifies the sweetness of youth and suggests a nurturing instinct. This color emphasizes your emotional sensitivity and conveys a sense of calm.

il_340x270.998163892_fatf

If you are drawn to this delicate shade of pink, it suggests that you are loving, generous, benevolent, and receptive to the needs of others. You feel great joy in nurturing others. You may take care of others so intensively that you can neglect yourself, which consequently, you truly appreciate to be nurtured in return.

Swarovski_Crystal_Colors_that_make_us_happy

Gentle pink hues inspires the possibility of a positive outcome. It awakens your feminine and romantic side, as well as unconditional love.

Wearing soft pink colors can help to alleviate feelings of anger and abandonment by invoking a sense of tranquility.

Similar Swarovski Crystal pink hues include; Light Rose, Light Rose Champagne, Blush Rose, and Rose Alabaster.

RUBY

Keywords: Excitement / Love / Passion / Power

Ruby_Red_Color_Combination_Inspiration

Ruby is an emotionally charged color representing strong feelings and a passionate nature. It has the ability to stimulate your senses, energize your confidence, and invoke  tenacious ambition balanced with dignified action.

If you enjoy the color Ruby, you have a delightful zeal and enthusiasm for life, suggesting that you are not afraid to pursue your goals and dreams.

Ruby lovers tend to be hard workers, taking pleasure in physical labor and working with their hands. Wear this hue if you want to take action by invigorating courage, strength, assertiveness and power.

Swarovski_Crystal_Wholesale_Beads_Color_Inspirations_That_make_us_happy_Ruby_Red

If you’re naturally ambitious, a trail blazer and find exploration irresistible, then you are also most likely drawn to Ruby red colors. If you’re wanting to incorporate more of any or all of these qualities, wearing Ruby and red tones will help to inspire you in this direction.

Complimentary Swarovski Crystal Ruby hues include Siam, Light Siam, and Crystal Red Magma.

Swarovski_5741-Light_Siam

AMETHYST

Keywords: Creativity / Sensuality / Spirituality / Peace of Mind

Swarovski_Crystal_Amethyst_Color_Inspiration

Sensual and mysterious, spiritual and intuitive, Amethyst combines the excitement and passion of red tones with the peaceful tranquility of blue. Its meditative, soul-searching qualities help us overcome our fears and focus on the important aspects of life.

Amethyst elevates our awareness into higher states of consciousness. It fuels our imagination, inspires us to see a new vision and higher ideals. It helps to maintain a balance between a calm mind and a peaceful emotional condition.

Swarovski_Crystal_Wholesale_Beads_Color_Inspirations_That_make_us_happy_Amethyst

If you’re looking to connect with your inner world, as well as your deeper thoughts and bridge the gap between the physical and spiritual aspects of yourself, then the color Amethyst will help you do this.

Many artists, writers, musicians, philosophers, and the like, draw inspiration from the color Amethyst. If you’re desiring to bring in more creativity and inspiration into your life, consider wearing and harnessing the powerful attributes of Amethyst.

Similar Swarovski Crystal Amethyst Colors include; Purple Velvet and Crystal Lilac Shadow.
