Why Jewel Tones Look So Luxurious
Jewel tones are named after precious stones: emerald, sapphire, ruby and amethyst. They are rich and saturated, and they flatter almost every skin tone. Combined in one piece, they create depth and drama that photographs beautifully.
Leather makes each rosette crisp and defined. Every petal is rolled by hand, so the texture is rich and no two pieces are identical.
How to Style the Fruity Sally
Melbourne Cup and Stakes Day
Cup Day and Stakes Day reward bold colour. Choose a solid dress in one of the headpiece tones, such as teal or plum, and let the rosettes do the talking.
Black and jewel tones
A simple black dress is the perfect canvas. The jewel tones pop and the overall look feels sophisticated.
Evening weddings and galas
Rich jewel colours glow in evening light. Pair the Fruity Sally with a velvet or satin gown for a dramatic entrance.
Art openings and creative events
A sculptural piece like this is a talking point at gallery openings, theatre nights and creative industry events.
What to Wear With a Jewel Tone Headpiece
- Dresses: black, teal, plum, ruby, navy or charcoal
- Shoes: black, metallic or a jewel tone
- Bags: velvet or metallic clutches
- Jewellery: gold or antique brass
- Hair: a low sleek bun to balance the volume
