One-of-a-Kind Roberto Coin

When Roberto Coin began to design and produce jewelry in 1977 on behalf of some of the most prestigious international brands of fine jewelry, he found himself quickly becoming one of the most sought-after designers in the business. He eventually launched his own brand in 1996, and has never looked back. Coin’s quirky yet elegant style, combined with the highest standards of craftsmanship, not to mention his winning personality and warmth, have brought him loyal admirers from around the world.

“Luxury is a complicated challenge in this more complicated world. Every person has his own idea of what luxury really means. In the end, it might be as simple as doing whatever you want, whenever you want, as long as it pleases you and all the people that you care about.”

Among his latest creations — for people who wear “what they want” — is a line called the Dragon collection, designed in honor of the Chinese New Year. It was inspired by ancient Chinese legend — these bewitching serpents are symbols of good fortune and passion. The collection includes a sublime mix of imagination, elegance and technique, illuminated by diamonds, enamel and rubies that are cleverly positioned as enchanting eyes.

Also new is the Shanghai collection, inspired by Asian culture. The collection uses a unique melange of vibrant hues that provide the must-have ‘pop of color’ essential to every woman’s wardrobe this season. By mixing an array of gold colors with peridot, iolite, topaz and diamonds, alongside a myriad of sleek shapes, Roberto Coin has once again achieved a look that is both contemporary and timeless.

The Primavera collection, introduced last year, has also been refreshed with some new bangles in 18k yellow, white or rose woven gold, with a ring of diamonds. These bracelets can be worn singly or stacked. Gemstones have been added to the collection this year as well, for another great pop of color.
