Pantone announces it’s Color of the year, looks like Delatori’s Carnelian!

Pantone, the last say on color trends, named Tangerine Tango as their color of the year for 2012. This vibrant and sunny hue looks gorgeous when paired with gold and makes us want to jet off to St. Barths immediately (well, we can wish can’t we?). DeLatori is certainly on-trend with many of their new pieces, incorporating carnelian into their designs. A few of their new cocktail rings (including their ring nominated for a JCK Jewelers’ Choice Award) feature Carnelian, a color that closely mirrors the bright hue of Tangerine Tango. How will you be incorporating Tangerine into your wardrobe in 2012?
