Peach Fuzz – Pantone’s Colour for 2024
Peach Fuzz is a hue between pink and orange. Conveying a gentle velvety feeling – nurturing the heart, mind and spirit with warmth and tenderness.
Peach Fuzz is a fresh approach to softness, giving comfort within. The colour inspires belonging and nurturing. Modest sophistication. Poetic and romantic with a vintage vibe. Representing evolution, rather than revolution.
Use these shades of pink, including amber and plum, in your designs to sell more jewellery.

Choosing Bead Colour
The colours you choose say a lot – they reveal your innermost feelings and emotions. They’re part of your personality. It’s likely you have a favourite colour. However, when you design jewellery for profit, don’t let your personal likes influence what you make. Look into the coming fashion and put colours together than are popular. That will sell better.
Each colour creates an effect on other people and has a meaning – like some colours have a religious and spiritual significance:

TOURMALINE FOR LOVE & FRIENDSHIP
Tourmaline beads are extremely popular right now. Available in many colours, although pink is the most common. It is said to be the gemstone of love and friendship.
It’s name originates from ‘tura mali’: meaning like ‘stone with mixed colours’. Usually found in granite mined in Brazil or Africa.
Tourmaline is believed to combine creativity and discipline, and is a natural source of negative ions and far infrared rays. Far infrared therapy is common to heal in Japan.
It is also thought to improve circulation, good for digestion, relieve stress, increase mental alertness and strengthen the immune system. As well as creating peace and communication between the conscious and unconscious minds.
Tourmaline, along with opal, is the gemstone for October.
