The special times we spend together are those that bring us the most joy and pleasure. It is these precious shared moments, whether it’s a late afternoon walk in the autumn leaves finished off with a steaming cup of coffee, or a winter evening spent in front of a fireplace sipping a smooth red wine, that remain in our hearts forever. Similarly, with its warm hues and tones, this season’s collection of inspiring Preciosa ® Genuine Czech Crystal™combinations draws us in, warming us with the happiness that only fun times spent with old, true friends can bring.

n today’s fast-paced world there isn’t always enough time to sift through all the latest fashion trends and predictions. In order to simplify the decision-making and buying process for fashion designers, industry leaders, and even the at-home hobby enthusiast, two industry leaders, PRECIOSA and PANTONE, bring you the Apparel & Fashion Colour Trend tool.

This semi-annual tool combines Pantone colour trends with Preciosa jewellery forecasting for each season, which coordinates Preciosa® Genuine Czech Crystal™ with the predicted Pantone trend colours in an easy and comprehensive one-step process.

PANTONE PRECIOSA The World’s Colour Standard Czech Crystal Experts Pantone revolutionized the graphic arts industry with the launch of the colourful PANTONE MATCHING SYSTEM over half a century ago, thus enabling designers and printers to faithfully articulate and accurately reproduce colours. Each colour in the system is identified with a unique number for precise specification. Pantone, a subsidiary of X-Rite, Inc., quickly became the standard in the printing and graphic arts industries.

As the company moved into more lifestyle-oriented industries, the concept of a numbering system associated with corresponding colour names became even more important in communicating the exactness of a colour.

Today, Pantone is synonymous with the vocabulary of colour in all aspects of the visual world, providing products, technologies and services for the colourful exploration and expression of creativity and is equally prominent in the consumer realm.

The company collaborates with other corporations on colour consistency, directs designers on colours and trends, and licenses paint and designer-inspired products for consumers around the world in the area of interior and exterior design, home products, fashion apparel, and now jewellery and fashion accessories.

In the area of jewellery and fashion accessories Pantone has been collaborating with Preciosa since 2010.

Pantone has provided a colour reference for each stone colour, when possible, which represents the closest available PANTONE TEXTILE Colour System® Colour under daylight lighting (D6500°K). The colours shown are simulations and may not match PANTONE-identified colour standards. Refer to PANTONE Publications for accurate PANTONE Colour standards.

Preciosa, officially incorporated in 1948, is a leading international producer of cut crystal, specializing mainly in the production of quality machine-cut stones, beads and other fashion jewellery components in a broad variety of shapes, colours and sizes.

The company’s heritage, though, dates back over six centuries, when glassmaking was first established and began to flourish in northern Bohemia. Today, staying true to its roots, Preciosa® Genuine Czech Crystal™ is still 100% manufactured in the Czech Republic. While its headquarters remains in Jablonec nad Nisou, a city just north of the capital Prague, in the midst of the country’s glassmaking region, Preciosa serves its international base of customers through seven offices worldwide.
