Colors of the South

I love to shop for other people and this past holiday led me into Elizabeth Stuart Design where I stumbled across this amazing book of photography by Sally Mann called "Deep South" . I was immediately mesmerized by her raw and powerful images of the south. There is something so truthful and beautiful in the composition of these photos that is very appealing to me.
So appealing in fact that I decided to base my colors for my spring collection of jewelry entirely on these pictures. I have always been really drawn to muted and subtle tones and it was fun for me to try and translate these images into gemstones. What color is spanish moss exactly? See my gemstone selections below and tell me what you think!
