Did you know that orange is the only color of the spectrum that is named after an object?
There was no word for the color Orange until the fruit first arrived in Europe.
Because of the cost associated with shipping from the tropics, orange became associated with aristocracy. Through Renaissance art, the color orange had great symbolic importance as the color of wealth.
Orange is commonly associated with the Sun. It creates feelings of warmth and vitality. And don’t forget energy, enthusiasm and good health! The color orange stimulates the mind AND the emotions!
Doesn’t it make you want to do a happy dance?
Orange seems to show up often in the gems that I am drawn to. Look at this Red Creek Jasper pendant and you will see what I mean. 
While this gem can cover the spectrum of colors from deep reds and browns to bright orange.. I migrate towards the orange always!
And what could be more orange than copper! Especially bright copper.
Wear orange if you want to get noticed. It demands attention. If your complexion says NO to orange tones, then consider a pendant, cuff or necklace to introduce the color into your wardrobe.
