Radiant Orchid - Celebrating the Color of the Year With the Stone of The Month

The year 2014 is officially two weeks old, the dust has settled from the end of the year hubbub and many sincere New Year's resolutions have already been broken and long forgotten. Most people are back to the daily rhythms of their regular schedule and life, for the most part, is back to normal. 

But I'd like to hold on to that New Year excitement a bit longer by celebrating the Pantone Color of the Year for 2014: Radiant Orchid. “An enchanting harmony of fuchsia, purple and pink undertones, Radiant Orchid inspires confidence and emanates great joy, love and health." And what better way to experience the color of the year with the stone of the month: Garnet!

Rhodolite Garnet is a perfect example of the Radiant Orchid color tone. With delightful raspberry hues and flickers of pink and purple, this beautiful gemstone is a perfect choice for the fashion and beauty trends in color.

"Radiant Orchid’s rosy undertones radiate on the skin, producing a healthy glow when worn by both men and women...variations of this hue will carry into men’s and women’s clothing and accessories throughout next year."

"A modern and surprisingly versatile shade, Radiant Orchid enlivens the skin, making all who wear it feel more healthy and energetic. Blending both cool and warm undertones, purple is an appealing hue for distinctive combinations and flattering to many hair, eye and skin tones."

Accessorize with the beautiful floral tones of Rhodolite Garnet! The ring shown above is like a bouquet of stunning Radiant Orchid color!

In these fabulous earrings, Rhodolite Garnets are framed in a crown style multi-pronged mounting. The yellow gold enhances the fruity tones of Radiant Orchid found in these gemstones!

This ring has the effect of a blooming flower opening up and blossoming.The Radiant Orchid color is dazzling against the white gold and diamond accents.

Wishing everyone a beautiful and colorful 2014!
