Color Story(2008) Vibe

Vibe

Vibe-colored fashions use bold patterns, dimensional fabrics and textures to grab attention. You can suggest gems from the list opposite to complement these styles. Unconventional and fun, Vibe gems look best set in designs with cultural details such as beaded patterns or pierced metal designs. Intricate, woven techniques and design styles that display heritage and craftmanship will be important to consumers. Because people want to express their personal stories and identities, medallions, dog tags and gem accented charms will have great appeal.
