This year, purple in every shade – from lavender to plum to violet to magenta – is crowding the runways and giving us some much needed bursts of color in outfits and jewelry. Even President Obama claims that purple is his favorite hue.
Traditionally, the color purple was associated with royalty and nobility. Today, it is favored among designers in the fashion community, and worn by celebrities and A-listers like Victoria Beckham and Charlize Theron. Purple jewelry can easily transform your look for Spring and create a stunning statement. Here are some suggestions for working this trend in to your look:
Amethyst – These gorgeous gems make great eye-catching jewelry when set in sterling silver. The lightness of the metal makes a great contrast to the deepness of this shade. Take a cue from Brooke Shields and Christina Applegate and wear bold pieces like cocktail rings and drop earrings to accent baby blue or bright pink apparel. Just a splash of this exotic color is sure to make for a memorable look.
Tanzanite – This breathtaking gemstone is most commonly lavender in color. Try a fabulous pair of chandelier earrings or a couple tennis bracelets to accent an all black ensemble. The light and dark pairing is elegant, yet still contemporary.
Beads – The fun thing about purple beads is that they are an inexpensive way to dress up current favorites. Chunky plastic or glass beaded
necklaces are especially hot right now, and can easily take you from day to night. Throw in a matching pair of
earrings for an affordable and stylish jewelry set. Also, feel free to mix
purple beaded bracelets with other bangles or beads. Complimentary colors like red and turquoise are amazing together and give off a youthful vibe.
Whatever you're wearing this spring, make sure that purple is a part of it.

I call this creation ‘Purple Crystal Madness’ because it is entirely designed in faceted metallic purple crystal rondelles. The crystals have a metallic or polarized sheen giving off multiple colors of the rainbow. At the base focal is a large off-cut faceted marquee shaped multi-colored crystal pendant; giving way to the different colors of the purples and metallic sheen too. The pendant is hung from a bail cluster of hand charms in the purple crystals; also found in clusters through-out the necklace. Nestled among the crystals are cracked onyx oval shaped stones, accented with fancy pewter silver bead caps.
