One of the rea- sons is that they are increasingly being created in fancy colors. Today, they are right en vogue with many of the ten Spring/Summer 2021 colors as forecast by Pantone, and seen on this page. The world's authority on color has also chosen its Colors of the Year - Ultimate Gray and Illuminat- ing. And of course, the classic colorless lab-grown diamond is always in fashion. The union of an enduring Ultimate Gray with the vibrant yellow Illuminating expresses a message of positivity, supported by fortitude, explains Leatrice Eiseman, executive director of the Pan- tone Color Institute. Practical and rock solid but at the same time warming and optimistic, this is a color combination that gives us resilience and hope. By Cynthia Unninayar 1 .
