What pieces should I choose?

Laura Gibson

Here is Laura with her favorite Labradorite Quail Necklace. It matches her eyes and hair wonderfully!

Laura Gibson’s philosophy is that if you look at a woman’s eyes and hair color, you will find the colors that will always look good on her. For example, someone with blond hair and blue eyes will look good in blues, greens and purples. You will usually find that these colors make up a large part of her wardrobe.

Some Tricks…

  • Determine your skin tone: Look at some visible veins on your body… Cool skin tones typically have bluish-colored veins and warm skin tones have greenish-colored veins.

An Overview…

Cool Skin Tone:

  • Bluish-colored veins
  • Pinkish or rosy-red undertones when looking in the mirror
  • Naturally blond, black, or brown hair, White Metal brightens the face (Silver, White Gold and Platinum)
  • Gemstones: white pearls, diamonds, and gemstones in pink, purple, blue, red and magenta

Warm Skin Tone:

  • Greenish-colored veins
  • Yellow or golden-apricot undertones when looking in the mirror
  • Natural red, orange or strawberry blonde hair or brown hair with a reddish tint
  • Gold brightens the face (Gold, Brass and Copper)
  • Gemstones: coral, golden toned pearls, and gemstones in brown, orange, green, yellow, peach and turquoise

Hair Color:

Hair color also comes into consideration, and jewelry can be matched to it as well, to create a complimentary look.

Thank you to the Parisian Modeling Agency Masters, for the beautiful model shots.

I love how these designers use the fall colors…

My husband and I went with our two girls to Nova Scotia a few weeks ago (I think I mentioned earlier we have a little place there) for Canadian Thanksgiving and the fall colors were so gorgeous and vivid.

It reminded me that the sight outside my window there four years ago had inspired my Autumn Collection – rich greens, saffron yellows, carnelian oranges, ruby reds and deep, chocolate browns, mimicking the heady fall colors in the leaves. We only had a chance to stay few days, but we had such a great time building fires every day and all day… So funny to have that experience and then come back to the crazy Tucson heat!

And now, as fall winds down and we move into winter (well, we’re supposed to be in winter by now), I think of all of the organic earth tones that I like to wear at this time of year and started to go hunting for some choice designers out there thinking the way I do; I can just see all of my Earthly Collection pieces on any one of these stunning creations – Diana Von Furstenberg, Donna Karan, Eileen Fisher, even the hip design house Rebecca Minkoff is doing all their fall lines in the rich colors I’ve loved for years.

You can find a wonderful selection of my designs currently on sale too, just check the website for all the details.
