PRECIOSA® AND PANTONE® Fashion Accessory Trend Forecasting for the New Millennium

S

We stand on the precipice of an interesting time, in the doorway between the past and the future. The cycle of life seems to come around again, but by using what we have learned in the past, this time we look forward with a fresh perspective, and with a completely new level of consciousness. An exhilarating mix of emotions and reactions flow over us and we look forward to the energizing and positive experiences – and colours – that lie in store for us this season.

ince 2010 PRECIOSA and PANTONE have worked together to bring you the latest in fashion accessory trend forecasting, combining the season’s textile colour predictions with matching Preciosa® GENUINE CZECH CRYSTAL™ colours. Easy to use, the semi-annual Apparel & Fashion Colour Trend tool provides not just information about the upcoming season, but also creative inspiration for fashion designers, manufacturers, decision-makers and industry leaders, and even the at-home hobby enthusiast.

With the introduction of MAXIMA, the new premium Preciosa® GENUINE CZECH CRYSTAL™ lead-free product line, the future looks even brighter and more brilliant than ever. And, we are now, more than ever, excited that our close partnership with Pantone continues because it allows us to bring you fashion trends matched to the highest quality, ecological, and spectacularly sparkling crystal components the world of jewellery and accessories has to offer. So, for production professionals and artisans of beauty alike, we hope that our cooperation with Pantone is as inspiring as it is practical!

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.

The company’s heritage, though, dates back over six centuries, when glassmaking 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 remain 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.

It is, however, the combination of hundred year-old glassmaking tradition and skills, modern flexibility, dedication to research and innovation, and a strong technical capacity which give rise to Preciosa® GENUINE CZECH CRYSTAL™: a top quality product of unequalled value on the marketplace.

One of the most resistant stones in the marketplace, Preciosa® GENUINE CZECH CRYSTAL™ guarantees the stability of its shapes, colour and sparkling brilliance of its entire range of products and colour palette.

Preciosa Genuine Czech Crystal is made with High-Pure Crystal technologies, guaranteeing you the finest, clearest and most perfect crystal product every time.

Preciosa is also an ecologically responsible global company dedicated to sustainable development. Preciosa’s crystal components are certified according to the European Standard EN 71 – Safety of Toys – Volume 3 Issue 1996/A1, Year 2001 and the American norm ASTM F 963-07 and are compliant with the International Standard OEKO-TEX 100.

As the sun begins to warm the air, the calm blue skies blanket the earth, bringing with them the hope and optimism of new life.

Buds burst forth, the cycle of life moves from fresh newness to full summer beauty and the fields come alive in a soft blanket of lavender hues.

There is something delicately feminine about the first dusting of pinkish-white buds that appear after the barren winter.

The smell of spring’s rebirth is definitely in the air!

The bright turquoise blue of a beautiful morning, or the tropical waters on a warm summer eve – it is the vibrancy of life in this ever-changing world.

Strong and deep like the calm in the middle of the night, this shade carries with it both what has already past and what is yet to come.

A contrast to the otherwise bluish tones of this palette, it nonetheless intuitively belongs to life's daily cycle, and adds an elemental harmony to the whole.
