Color Focus: Gold

The luxe nature of gold went away for a while but now it is back big time. It is back not in a blingy 1980’s, Mr T sort of way either. The gold shade of today relies more on the texture and finish than the in your face shine. The look now is handcrafted, delicate and full of movement. Whether it is a piece of jewelry, a silk embossed dress or a beaded clutch, gold is making a bold comeback.
