FOCUS COLOR – June 2024

Greetings, jewelry lovers! 🌿

I’m Monica, architect, designer, and jeweler at Icrushenko, and I’m excited to share my passion for color with you.

Because June inspires me with… how should I put it? Pure life. Youth. Freshness. So, I’ve chosen to focus on a vibrant and lively shade: lime green.

Let’s explore together why it’s so special and how you can integrate it into your everyday style.

How to wear lime green?

I love bold colors. As a designer, I allow myself to experiment and find creative ways to integrate statement colors into my jewelry and outfits. And if in the colder seasons bright colors are more accents than dominant, summer is their moment of glory.

Here are some personal suggestions:

Statement Jewelry

Earrings are our favorite pieces. We like to create lightweight long earrings with inserts in our favorite color. Long earrings draw attention to the face, complimenting and contouring it. If you also have light-colored eyes, this green gives them an extra sparkle. Neither black nor brown eyes are at a disadvantage at all – the brightly colored sparkle of the earrings captures glances and draws attention to the features.

An oversized ring, with a large, vibrant green cube, catches the eye. Fearful, envious, questioning, you pick. But it does not go unnoticed.

Subtle Accents:

The thing is, we ladies also have moments when we like to fly under the radar. For days when I prefer something more discreet, a small ring with a lime green detail is perfect. Or some tiny screw earrings, with green cubes? Yummy. A subtle way to add color without being ostentatious.

Chromatic Combinations:

Here’s my favorite challenge. Lime green is a wonderful accent for white, black, beige, and any neutral color. For office outfits and in more formal situations.

But I absolutely love combining it with other bold colors. I feel lucky with my two more or less creative professions, because I can use them anytime as an excuse for ultra-colorful outfits. And life is too short for neutral clothes. Somehow it’s in my job description.

The first color that comes to mind is coral. And I’ve set my sights on a bag from Mihai Mușat, which, besides being coral, also has poppies! Who doesn’t love poppies?! Also coral are those fancy and comfortable sandals from Coca Zaboloteanu. Big love. Just as much love are the ultra-elegant lime sandals, also hers. And last but not least, the green purse from Fir de In is adorable.

In second place for combinations with lime comes turquoise. But I’ll definitely talk more about turquoise this summer… because it’s my soul color.

What would you combine it with and in what situations? I can’t wait to see how you would choose to wear lime green. Maybe you can tag us in photos of you & this green, so we can share the moment.

Have fun!

With love, Monica 💚
