There is a specific kind of woman…
I think of when I'm reaching for coral and warm aqua at my worktable. She's the one who lights up a room without trying. Her coloring has this natural warmth and freshness to it — like she just came in from somewhere sunny. Everything about her reads alive.
That's Spring. And if it's your season, your jewelry should feel exactly the same way.
So What Does It Mean to Be a Spring?
Spring coloring is warm, light, and clear. If you're a Spring, your skin has golden, peachy, or warm ivory undertones — not cool or ashy, but warm and luminous. Your hair is likely honey blonde, strawberry blonde, light auburn, or warm brown. Your eyes are bright and clear — blue, green, hazel, or warm brown with golden flecks that catch the light.
Springs often look younger than their age. Their coloring has an inherent freshness to it — nothing heavy, nothing dark, nothing muted. Light, warm, and alive. If someone has ever told you that you have a natural glow, there's a good chance you're a Spring.
What you're not: cool-toned, ashy, or deep. If you try on something icy or very dark and it makes you look tired or harder than you feel, that's your coloring telling you something.
The Spring Palette
Think of a garden in full bloom on a warm morning. That's your color story.
Coral. Warm peach. Bright turquoise. Warm aqua. Golden yellow. Salmon pink. Apple green. Camel. Warm ivory. Periwinkle with a golden lean. These are your colors — warm, clear, and full of light.
What Spring doesn't want: anything too dark, too cool, or too heavy. Deep burgundy, icy lavender, stark black — these colors work against Spring's natural warmth and can make her look washed out or flat. Springs need brightness. They dim in anything that pulls cool or dark.
What This Means for Your Jewelry
Warm metals are your foundation. Gold, rose gold, copper — anything with warmth and glow. Silver can work in small doses, but warm gold is where your coloring truly comes alive.
For color, your instinct should always be toward the bright and warm end: coral earrings, warm turquoise, peachy pinks, golden yellows, aqua. These colors echo your natural palette and make your eyes pop and your skin look luminous. Statement earrings in bold warm color are completely at home on a Spring — your coloring is bright and clear enough to carry them. You were made for the fun stuff. Don't go subtle when you don't have to.
The Anam Cara Connection
When I'm making for Springs, I reach for the warmest, brightest, most joyful end of my palette. The Tutti Frutti collection lives right in Spring territory — bold color combinations, warm and energetic, the kind of earrings that make people stop you mid-conversation to ask where you got them.
Look for pieces in coral, warm pink, turquoise, aqua, warm yellow, and peach. Warm mixed-color pieces with clear, bright tones will almost always work for you. When in doubt, ask yourself: does this feel like a citrus fruit, a warm garden, or a sunny afternoon? If yes — it's probably yours.
