Living Coral is the Color of the Year

It’s that time of year again, PANTONE^® has announced the Color of the Year for 2019! Living Coral (16-1546) is vibrant, warm and comfortable. It’s engaging and inspiring. We are loving this feel good color!

Coral has been popular in jewelry for thousands of years, first worn by ancient Egyptians. It’s fascinating that coral is formed by marine animals known as coral polyps, living in tropical and subtropical ocean waters from 20 – 1,000′ deep. The skeleton of coral polyps make clusters and form colonies, reefs or islands. Made naturally, the hard skeleton has a matte finish but can be polished to a glassy shine. The Great Barrier Reef of Northern Australia is among the world’s most famous coral reefs, extending for more than 1,250 miles. Coral can be bright red, pink, orange-red, black, golden brown and blue.

For years Pantone’s Color of the Year has influenced fashion and home furnishing industries, as well as product and packaging design that we see in our daily life. We think it’s a perfect choice for Minnesotans wanting a piece of warmth, comfort and a reminder of summer during our frigid winters. Stop in and get your own treasure of warmth with our select number of beautiful coral jewelry.
