Peace and Tranquility for 2026

Pantone – known for its global authority on color and famous for forecasting trends – has chosen a white for the first time ever as its Color of the Year. It is fun to discuss their choice and find a gemstone that reflects the color. Pantone 11-4201 Cloud Dancer is soft, serene and symbolizes a fresh start, a feeling that definitely fits with the start of a brand new year. With the calendar turn comes quiet reflection, blank canvases, and the desire to move away from the overstimulation of a noisy world. Wipe your slate clean, prepare for fresh ideas, and seek mental clarity. These are the themes behind their color choice, and we are here for it!

Pearls were our first thought to represent Pantone’s choice. We have a number of baroque pearl pieces in the store, including the coin and teardrop pearl necklaces below. These are are non-round pearl featuring a unique shape and a natural, organic feel.
