By embracing the mystery and beauty that these offer, we in turn re-discover an appreciation of the communities within which we find ourselves. Embark on a journey to far-off places and find serene balance, peaceful contemplation, spiritual enlightenment, exciting adventure, but most of all the unity that connects us to the world around us.

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’s colour trends with Preciosa’s jewellery forecasting for each season, which coordinates PRECIOSA® GENUINE CZECH CRYSTAL™ with the predicted Pantone trend colours in an easy and comprehensive onestep 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).

Andalusian CO-MBINATIONS

Rich in culture and history, Andalusia is as striking as the forebears who influenced the region. Intense yet inviting, the warm natural shades and rich earthy tones found in the stunning mountains, plains and valleys mirror the fiercely proud, yet heartily friendly Andalusian people. And underneath runs the typically fiery Spanish roots that will inspire your days and heat up your nights.

This region is, after all, the home of flamenco and bullfighting!
