The Power of Purple -
Lavender &
Purple Beads
The most-popular
bead colour at present is lavender & purple.
These are pleasing to the eye and blend well with other colours
in jewellery.
Vogue fashion editor Francesca Burns has said that
"historically purple was only worn by an elite few, but now it's for everyone.
It is undoubtedly the colour of the
collections."
Mauve, a light purple is also trendy. Dulux
call it “Carnivale” - a selection of soft purple to
violet hues.
Violet is also a combination of red and blue, but a
little more-blue than purple. Some say violet can rebalance your life, remove
obstacles, and help with depression.
Purple represents good judgment, rests the spirit and its
connection with divinity and healing explain why it is used in meditation
creating mystery and magic. It’s also thought to increase imagination and
inspiration. Purple symbolizes nobility, ceremony and wisdom.
Purple has always been used by royalty and the Christian
Church. In Japan it signifies wealth and influence, and the Imperial Chinese thought
there is a secret purple area in heaven, near the North Star. In the USA, the
Purple Heart is given to wounded brave soldiers – and in ancient Egypt, purple
was the favorite colour of Cleopatra.
In feng shui,
purple generates chi and is the colour of very deep
water, representing wealth to the Chinese. This energy attracts opportunities
of all kinds, including love.
Wearing purple gives a mystical, imaginative effect that can
subliminally attract others. It’s a “cool” colour to
wear these days, because it says you’re laid-back and not egotistical. It
shouts luxury, wealth, and sophistication – as well as being feminine and
romantic. If you want to feel special and unique then purple is the colour to wear.
However, too much purple,
like blue, could bring moodiness – so don’t overdo it. Because purple is rare
in nature and has an aura of mystery, it is favored by artists or anyone
wanting to be different. Likewise, those who dislike purple tend to be
practical, lack imagination and conform to society. They also tend to live for
today, rather than in the past or future.
The most-popular bead colour
at present is lavender & purple. These are pleasing to the eye and blend well with other colours in jewellery.
