Honeysuckle is Pantone's Color of the Year for 2011. Wow! I have to admit, I was surprised when this newsflash arrived across my desk in Fire Mountain's recent color update. I'm still stuck on last year's color of the year (turquoise). But, pink is a hopeful color and people are seeming a bit more hopeful these days. I guess it's time to move on. Maybe we're all looking for a little pink pick-me-up!
Here are some ideas for using more pink in your jewelry:
- Glue rose SWAROVSKI ELEMENTS Flatbacks onto a key like this Key to My Heart Necklace or use the same technique to rose-ify another found object.
- Use rhodochrosite beads. This gemstone has a reddish pink color that blends well with man-made crystals. Its pretty cousin rhodonite is a pink stone with black inclusions.
- Purchase a rosaline (or any color) wild heart pendant from FusionBeads by Feb. 14th and they'll give $1 to Heifer International, which happens to be one of my favorite non-profits.

Honeysuckle was a surprising choice for color of the year, the color palette had a number of colors I much prefered over such a strong Pink..if i use Honeysuckle it will have to be paired with orange, i think.
Love this honeysuckle color! Hope you're doing well!
Turquoise will always be a personal favorite of mine, regardless of what is in fashion ...the "honeysuckle is very pretty...soft and delicate...would make a great accent color!
Cheers
