The perpetual warmth of peach

Temperate yet vibrant and passionate, peach presents a multitude of design possibilities – from ultra-elegant luxury jewellery to trendy, everyday pieces. Peach is also expected to dominate creative motifs in 2024 spanning the fashion, jewellery, home décor, beauty and other consumer industries, with the Pantone Color Institute naming “Peach Fuzz” as colour of the year.

Temperate yet vibrant and passionate, peach presents a multitude of design possibilities – from ultra-elegant luxury jewellery to trendy, everyday pieces. Peach is also expected to dominate creative motifs in 2024 spanning the fashion, jewellery, home décor, beauty and other consumer industries, with the Pantone Color Institute naming “Peach Fuzz” as colour of the year.

Described as “visually arresting and inviting” with a hue that is nestled between pink and orange, Peach Fuzz also offers a fresh approach to a new softness and evokes a new modernity, according to the Institute.

Leatrice Eiseman, executive director of Pantone Color Institute, commented, “In seeking a hue that echoes our innate yearning for closeness and connection, we chose a colour radiant with warmth and modern elegance – a shade that resonates with compassion, offers a tactile embrace, and effortlessly bridges the youthful with the timeless.”

In the jewellery world, the gentle velvety charm of Peach Fuzz is captured by scintillating Padparadscha sapphires, morganites and spessartite garnets as well as the peach variants of tourmaline, sapphire, amazonite and selenite, to name a few.
