We Heart Purple!

So, my friend Tamara and I had a crafty day — where we made jewelry together. I was surprised when she said she really loved purple, because she doesn’t seem like a purple lovin’ type of gal. But, Tamara inspired me to take a closer look at the rich, jewel-tone color — and I love what I see!

:: Deep purple goes great with any neutral from white to beige to gray and even black (I basically just described my entire closet). It can add a punch of color in an instant and it works with any skin tone! *Bonus: Purple has been associated with royalty and spirituality.

:: A popular purple stone is Amethyst – it’s February’s birthstone. If you have any Feb birthdays coming up think of precious or semi-precious Amethyst as a thoughtful gift. Another great option is a rich purple or plum Swarovski Crystal – they have the same jewel-tone color but with the glossy shine of the Crystal.

:: No matter what bead or stone you choose, you’ll heart purple too!
