Emerald Green: Vibrant Jewels in 2021’s Most Fashionable Hue
Ideally, one would try and coordinate their clothes, shoes, accessories and jewellery to one another based on colour. That being said, it is easy to miss the mark and often true colour coordination is only attainable for fashion gurus. However, readers, I propose that this summer can become a truly fashionable holiday for just about everyone: monochrome is back. Simply wear one colour all over, and you can’t help but be on trend!
In the spring-summer 2021 season, oversized clothes, dresses made of eco-leather, suits, mini-skirts, maxi-sleeves and cheery bright shades are all once again à la mode. The views of the colourists from the Pantone Colour Institute, as well as simply looking at the collections offered up at London and New York Fashion Week by the major brands, are the main points of reference for this trend towards colour singularity. Among the usual sunny yellow, hot pink and sky-blue summer shades, various hues of verdant green have blown new life into these shows!

The abundance of greens at Tibi, MaxMara, Miu-Miu, Louis Vuitton, Valentino, Dior, Badgley Mishka, Estate, Molly-Goddard, Reem Acra, Ralph Russo and other fashion houses gives us a clear signal: this is 2021’s most fashionable colour! Bearing in mind this newfound trend for monochrome, all that remains is to choose jewellery that harmonises. Which mineral has the largest and most valuable palette of green hues? That is, of course, an easy question: the emerald!

Exquisite jewellery that makes use of this gem has been driving lovers of all things beautiful truly crazy for more than a hundred years. I should note that, together with diamonds, sapphires, rubies and emeralds are among the four top stones that never really go out of fashion. The trend for green will pass – fashion is a fickle mistress – but if one is able to approach the choice with thought and care, then a profitable investment will remain in your jewellery box for years to come.
What should one consider when making such a selection? Of course, the quality of the stone and the artistic value of the piece in which it is embedded! If you are someone who can, without hesitation, name five brands that could provide you with such a choice, this collection will no doubt be of interest.

Katerina Perez With more than 12 years’ experience in the jewellery sector, Katerina Perez’s expert knowledge spans everything from retail sales and management to content creation, including brand building, jewellery writing and styling. Born and raised in St Petersburg, Katerina’s favourite hobby as a child was playing with the treasures in her grandmother's jewellery box, inspiring a lifelong love of jewellery from a very early age. She spent five years in St Petersburg University of Culture and Arts studying not journalism but business studies and languages, and her writing skills have developed as her passion for her favourite subject – jewellery – has grown. This is why her writing comes straight from the heart rather than the pages of a book. Daughter of an entrepreneur mother, Katerina exchanged her retail management job for jewellery writing in 2013 and hasn’t looked back since.
