Seashell Color Palette - Subtle Iridescent Shimmer

With champagne, seafoam and light blue, the seashell palette is soft and serene. I came up with this palette while weaving a neutral-color bracelet. One of my champagne rings fell, rolled and landed next to a seafoam and light blue work-in-progress. I was struck at how lovely the combo looked - it was almost iridescent and reminded me of a mother of pearl shell. Hence, the name seashell!

As you may have guessed from the image, I’ve only used the Seashell colorway in the Knotted Metal collection thus far. I've also only used three colors, though I could be persuaded to add white, light grey, pastel yellow and a hint of pink: all hues that would be found in the iridescence of a mother-of-pearl shell.

Another soft and subtle palette I often work with is Vintage Rose. Both Seashell and Vintage Rose use pastels and a neutral champagne color, but this palette features cooler colors and has a more modern feel. The pink in Vintage Rose lends it a more traditionally feminine energy, while Seashell evokes a tranquil, almost ethereal feeling.

The Seashell palette is perfect for those who appreciate understated elegance, with just a hint of color.
