Looking over the latest fashions in clothing for the spring line (s) this year, I am seeing bright bold colors. In fact, I read an article that indicated that "color without pattern" is going to be hot into the fall of 2011.
The colors are red, jade, purple, orange, fuchia. I also saw blue.
When one considers the palette of colors...I am seeing the return of "jewel tones"...No doubt, the inspiration is related to the Royal Wedding. Scheduled to take place in the spring or summer this year.
There was an article, about a month earlier...which said - "William, Kate (Catherine), Elizabeth" are already climbing to the top of the charts as popular baby names.
In the late 1980's /early 1990's..."jewel tones"...were called by their proper names...red (ruby), jade (emerald), purple (amethyst), blue (sapphire)...Orange & fuchia...(?)...they were not key players back then...But, I think they are worthy.
*If you have any vintage jewelry sporting the jewel tones or has a look fit for a princess, add ROYAL as a key word in your ebay item description...PRINCESS could be another word to draw potential buyers to your auction.
On that note...Sapphires may make a comeback. Blue...Royal blue...
You know the beautiful engagement ring that Princess Diana received? It is now on the hand of the bride to be, Miss Catherine Middleton (Kate)...Copies of Diana's (Kate's) engagement ring are already on the market. I think it would be worth a try to sell your sapphires of any kind at this time. Or at least keep a watch to strike the iron should it get hot.
So, take it from there...Think "ROYAL"...Do not abuse the word...but, should it fit - for anything from pottery to clothing, jewelry, etc...in color or design...give it a go!
