Dawn directly from some of the earth’s oldest creations — rare prizes hidden deep within the planet’s depths — jewel hues give us some of our richest and most brilliant nature-found colors. Luminous emerald, smoldering ruby, oceanic turquoise, honeyed topaz; the palette is a treasure chest of shades that are intense, yet have an alluring dimensionality. Each color carries an organic strength, conveying a this-is-what-I-want-and-I-don’t-care-what-you’re-doing confidence.
In the home, decorating with jewel tones embodies a regal opulence, bringing refinement without an ostentatious aftertaste. These concentrated hues take us back to the history books; the gowns of queens, the crowns of princesses, fluttering heraldic banners, sunlit stained glass, the velvet upholstery of palatial saloons, and the draped silks of cavernous bed chambers. Jewel tones are embedded in our psyche as shades befitting the absolute best.
