One woman, who either lives or works very near to our home, wear the same coral, turquoise and gold necklace EVERY day. After I saw her the third time, I mentioned to her – in passing- that I recognized her necklace, and that it seems to be a favorite. Her reply, with a very moving and wistful smile: “I wear it every day; it’s very special to me.”
More power to anybody who feels strongly about something and takes action to make it a part of their life, every day…

June 17, 2013 at 12:03 pmI am not a very 'colorful' person, but I do like coral and turquoise together. It is very pretty. Saw someone at the airport recentyl who paired it with all grey. Very chic. Btw, is your blog list empty now?

June 17, 2013 at 12:29 pmI love this necklace! Since I wear a very neutral palette for much of the time, I took your advice and found my two favorite 'signature' colors…which happen to coral and turquoise. (These morph into burgundy and teal in the winter). I love the idea of having a signature piece of jewelry that could incorporate both of my favorite colors into one piece of jewelry. Or, two, seasonally speaking.
Great food for thought.

June 17, 2013 at 2:20 pmBurgundy and teal are my favorite accent colors too! I like your idea of picking softer tones of the same shade for summer – I was beginning to feel like burgundy and teal were a little dark now that it's summer.
