After a number of years writing on haphazard subjects in the designed for you jewellery blog, we are now focusing on more jewellery related blog articles for your interest and help. We’ve also decided to make it easier for you to find articles that interest you!
So, we now have divided our articles into categories in the top bar above: jewellery related articles first and then designed for you personnel related articles. We’ve also made it easier for you to link between our blog and designed for you jewellery site, and access older designed for you blog entries.
Please feel free to read and add comments to our blog postings. We appreciate your feedback and manually approve all comments before publishing them.
Thanks for reading our blog.

Autumn fashion colours this season still carry a glow of summer within them, black & monochrome are prominent this season along with spots, and no Christmas season would be complete without a brilliant red!

| Emberglow | autumnal tone of warm burnt orange | |||
| Honeysuckle | colour of the year, a warm reddish pink | |||
| Phlox | deep earthy purple | |||
| Cedar | a versatile, mid-tone neutral green (some designers use olive instead) | |||
| Deep Teal | a strong, blue-toned green (some designers use a paler tone) | |||
| Coffee Liqueur | a strong rich coffee brown | |||
| Nougat | a warm camel tan | |||
| Orchid Hush | a unique mauve with grey undertones | |||

After playing with colour charts & jewellery, plus extensive discussions, the jewellery mob has selected pieces from ‘designed for you’ collections which we think match this season’s shades beautifully. We’ve also slipped in a few contrast ideas, too.
Click on any image to land on the right section of ‘designed for you’.
These colours are modified for Spring 2012 as you will see in the following article. Many of the pieces above do match next seasons colours as we have shown above.
