Color in Costume Jewelry: Orange

When I decided to start a series on colors in costume jewelry, I was surprised to see how many orange pieces I had. It's not a color I wear or decorate with yet I seem to have an abundance of it. 

Orange is considered to be a happy color in many cultures, representing joy. It raises the spirits and invigorates the observer. It is a vibrant color that attracts the attention of the surroundings. It's associated with joy, sunshine, and the tropics, and represents enthusiasm, fascination, happiness, creativity and determination.

Footnote: Today is June 2nd and it has been designated Gun Awareness Day. It is a day of remembrance for victims of gun violence, an event largely propagated by gun control groups. I'm going to be out and about today and I hope to see everyone wearing orange!
