Every year, we excitedly await the announcement of Pantone’s colors of the year!
For 2022, Pantone chose a hopeful color that responds to the unexpected and tumultuous year before. The cheerful and calming hue of “Veri Peri” PANTONE 17-3938 represents transformation, an “altered landscape of possibilities,” and “a spritely, joyous attitude and dynamic presence that encourages courageous creativity and imaginative expression.” Encompassing the cool tones of blue with a hint of red-hued purple, this color is a special blend that fits the unique time we are in.
These colors also remind us of one of our favorite jewelry trends for 2022: beautiful blue and purple gemstones. We anticipate gemstone rings and colorful gemstone jewelry will be a major trend in the next year, and have seen our customers already gravitating toward joyfully hued gemstones.
Discover a few of our favorite fine jewelry pieces inspired by Pantone’s 2021 color of the year below!
