Emerald Designs: 12 Great Finds in Pantone's Color of the Year

Stop by Alexandra Von Furstenberg’s sleek Melrose Avenue boutique for a lesson in Lucite furnishings, and pick up the glowing Tamarind bowl, $708, while you’re there. 

Love gems but can’t afford an actual emerald? Atacamite is a rare copper mineral that is being newly mined in Chile, and it develops an array of gorgeous green hues. $45 from New York’s Still House. 

Maybe these are more of a “moss” than an “emerald,” but I still love the natural green color (and sweet honey scent) of these hand-dipped beeswax tapers from Seattle’s Big Dipper Wax Works. Find them at San Francisco’s Heath Ceramics, $9 per pair. 

Don’t kid yourself, this dainty beauty won’t block a ton of sun, but this Droog parasol is perfect for those days when you need just a touch of shade. The stencil-cut plastic design features a nature-ready leaf pattern, $435 from Ahalife.

If you loved the retrospective of Los Angeles artist Ken Price, snag a set of notecards, $16, that feature four of his iconic sculptures currently on display at LACMA, $16. 

Swedish glass-making brand Kosta Boda added the eerie Still Life skull votive, designed by Ludvig Lofgren, to its line. The emerald is so 2013, but you can also find it in purple, red, and clear, $50 from Neiman Marcus.

For slow-cooking, stocks or stews, it doesn't get better than Le Creuset's gorgeous enamel cookware. The round french oven in fennel, $150 from Sur La Table, makes a great post-holiday gift. 

Don’t bother picking this up at a store, when a visit to your local salon is so much more fun. Make your mani-pedi like, so now, with a few coats of Pretty Edgy by Essie. 

Wrap your iPhone 5 in the rich hue of 2013’s hottest color. Find this snap-on shell, $28, at the SFMOMA Museum Store. 

The streamlined shape of the USM Haller O14 Media console, which was designed more than 40 years ago by Swiss engineer Paul Schärer and architect Fritz Haller, feels fresh in the year’s hottest color. $1,945 from Module R.
