Colour me Happy :)

I took lots of gorgeous gemstone pieces to a fabulous "House of Colour" event run by Jackie Perkins this weekend...

Colour Analysis is the process of finding which colours suit your unique skin tone and eye colour. Some colours make you look great, some have completely the opposite effect. In general warm skin tones are better in warm colours and cool skin tones are better in cool colours. Colour analysis helps you find out which colours are right for YOU :)

The Warm Palettes:

For example below is a typical set of colours for an Autumn.Autumns are best in warm golden tones - Metals= Gold, Copper & Bronzes.
Pearls would be Cream rather than white, they look fabulous in Gemstones such as Citrine and Golden Amber. Prince Harry is an Autumn. Another famous Autumn would be Marcia Cross

Another "warm" season are folks classified as Spring, these ladies and gents still need warm colours just not in such dramatic and strong palettes. Sarah Ferguson is a spring.
Can you see the difference in colouring?

The Cool Palettes:

I got analysed by Jackie at House of Colour and it turned out I am a Jewel Winter. This means I look best in all the vibrant cool Jewel like colours, like Hot Pink, Amethyst, Royal Blue and Icy White (plus lots others but they're my favourites!).

This is a section of my colour swatches. The swatches are a handy little book that you can take shopping with you, to check that the outfits you're looking at match or tone with the colour palette that will make you look your best. For darker colours Winters can also wear Navy Blue, Strong Denim Blues and most womens perennial favourite Black!

Since “Cool” is my dominant trait, I avoid warm colours like golden browns or oranges. Winter Metals= Platinum, Silver, White Gold & Palladium. Pearls would be White rather than cream, we look fabulous in Gemstones such as Amethyst, Sapphire and Blue Opals.

Famous Winter Toned Folk include: Courteney Cox, John Travolta & Elizabeth Hurley

Summer is Another Season in the Cool Toned Palette.
Summer Folks share many of the colours of the winter folk but their colours are more muted. An ideal Gemstone for a Summer Palette would be Rose Quartz or Aqua Chalcedony.

Famous Summer Toned Folk include: Heather Locklear and Sarah Jessica Parker.

I have a wide selection of different colour gemstones, glass and resin jewellery items in my Market Deeping Shop. So if you're local feel free to pop in...

Although I don't have them on my website (because each is a one off) if you want a specific stone I can normally source it for you and make a pendant to match your colouring and the outfits you like to wear most ;)
