PRECIOSA and PANTONE SS2015 Fashion Accessory Colour Trends

Slow down your senses to the speed of colour...

Spring/Summer 2015

Jewellery & Accessories Colour Palette ———————— Preciosa Components & Pantone

...or speed  up.

Everything around us is in constant motion. Today more than ever, if we stand still we may miss an eternity of sights, sounds, and experiences. Yet the faster things become, the more blurred they get, and the more they appear to be standing still. And suddenly we are struck with the reality that speed is relative! High-tech becomes strangely serene in a soft toned-down palette that seemingly defies time. There is a paradoxical harmony between the classic tonal nuances and unusually energetic splashes of accent colours. So whether you are racing at full tilt or enjoying a rare moment of calm, enjoy the ride!

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‘s heritages 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.

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.

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 the European company that believes in preserving the environment. Preciosa enforces environmentally save 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.

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.
