PRECIOSA and PANTONE FW2015-16 Fashion Accessory Colour Trends

Engage in Colour this Winter!

Fall/Winter 2015–16

Jewellery & Accessories Colour Palette ———————— PRECIOSA & PANTONE

Fall/Winter 2015–16 dares you to break out of the usual wintery drab greys and blacks and engage in a season tinged with muted, but lively surprises. As boundaries between countries and cultures blur, and as northern and southern hemispheres unite in the world of fashion, there is no reason that colour too should not permeate our entire year. Though these wintery palettes are still grounded in the typically cool wispy hues, we are pushed, ever so slightly, to allow some optimistic colour splashes to seep in through Jack Frost’s front door.

PRECIOSA® Czech Crystal Experts

PANTONE® The World’s Colour Standard

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.

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.

PRECIOSA heritages dates back over six centuries, when glassmaking was first established and began to flourish in northern Bohemia. Today, staying true to its roots, PRECIOSA Crystal Components are 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.

Each colour in the system is identified with a unique number for precise specification.

It is 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 Crystal Components: a top quality product of unequalled value on the marketplace.

One of the most resilient stones in the marketplace, PRECIOSA Crystal Components guarantee the stability of their shapes, colours, and the sparkling brilliance of the entire product range and colour palette.

PRECIOSA Crystal Components are made with High-Pure Crystal™ technologies, guaranteeing you the finest, clearest and most perfect crystal product every time.

PRECIOSA is a European company that believes in preserving the environment. PRECIOSA enforces environmentally safe working conditions and utilizes ecologically responsible technologies. All production is regularly tested by accredited laboratories in order to ensure their compliance with all major crystal standards. Detailed information is available at www.preciosa.com.

PRECIOSA® and other PRECIOSA trademarks are the property of PRECIOSA Inc.

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).

Montana PRECIOSA 30340

Patriot Blue PANTONE 19-3925 TPX Strong and proud, this dark winter blue is a pillar of calmness—something you can lean on in the dark winter days ahead.

Smoked Topaz PRECIOSA 10220

Chestnut PANTONE 19-1118 TPX A powerful dark brown is the other pillar that inspires this colour palette with the poise and prestige worthy of a true icon.

White Opal PRECIOSA 01000

Jet Stream PANTONE 11-0605 TPX Every rich, deep palette (and individual) has to have a shade that adds contrast and lifts it up and out of what could otherwise become murky depths.

Sapphire PRECIOSA 30050

Liberty PANTONE 19-3850 TPX This slightly brighter shade of blue adds a spark of confidence for the future.

Create something iconic At first glance these colour tones are classic, deep, even a bit flat. But like the stalwart icons of days gone by that represent our values and ideals, tradition is pushed with new patterns and abstract mixes yielding a surprising layering and complexity which speaks volumes. So don’t discount them lightly—there are hidden movers and shakers within!
