Bijoux Pépine Colour Guide 🌈
choosing the perfect colour for your jewelry!
Bijoux Pépine is dedicated to offering colourful jewelry with a unique design, that can be worn in any setting. A day at work, a “Happy Hour” with your colleagues, a special event, or a relaxing weekend… each piece of jewelry will find its place in your wardrobe. The choice of the design is as essential as the choice of colour.
Throughout the years, we have developed a wide range of rich and unique colours. Our palette has been thoughtfully expanded using sand, spices, and natural powders crystallized in eco-friendly resin. In this guide, we will share with you an overview of the natural powders used to create our signature colours, which make Bijoux Pépine’s creations so distinctive.
We know it can be difficult to make a decision when facing such a large variety of colors, which is why we came up with this colour guide to help you choose the perfect jewelry for any occasion.
Bijoux Pépine’s Colour Guide suggests two main types of colour harmony :
Tone-on-tone, by choosing a colour of jewelry identical or close to that of your outfit. This creates a more nuanced style, with elegance and subtlety.
Contrasting, by looking for a contrasting effect between the colour of your jewelry and that of your outfit. This creates a more inventive and surprising style, that will draw more attention.
Before acquiring a piece of jewelry, think of the colours of clothing you (or the person you wish to offer it to) wear the most and then refer to the following colour chart. Some colour harmonies are a sure bet, and by choosing carefully the colour of your jewels, they will beautifully complement your wardrobe. Note that black and white will naturally match with any colour.
The tips from Bijoux Pépine’s Colour Guide are a reflection of our observations and our favorite harmonies, but you shouldn’t limit yourself to those suggestions. Colour harmonies are endless, so try, dare to explore your own style!
