“Fashion is changeable. It is whimsical. Style is not. Style is part of us, of our life, in every moment and every expression.” —Roberto Coin

Roberto Coin launched his eponymous company in Vicenza, Italy, also known as the “City of Gold,” in 1996. His vision was to create a unique jewelry line for women that went beyond the expected in design, materials and craftsmanship. With access to accomplished Italian jewelry artisans he was able to infuse his love of art and fashion into his collections. Now, over two decades later the Roberto Coin brand has grown into an aspirational, high-style, design-driven retailer in over 60 countries.

Roberto Coin jewelry offers a variety of styles that share a common thread in their collective celebration and love of natural materials. Mother of Pearl, Black Jade, diamonds, precious stones and precious metals are transformed from their original state into elegant, sculptural pieces that are thoughtfully designed. Coin sketches ideas for each collection inspired by art, antiquities and  the natural world of flora and fauna.

“Love is The Soul of Nature”
—Roberto Coin

State of the art technologies are used for advanced production processes, while artisans hand finish many of the pieces. Attention to detail is managed at every step–from sourcing diamonds to finishing touches. The diamonds used are cut to maximize their brilliance with 57 to 100 facets cut per stone that capture the light and sparkle at every carat weight. All diamonds used in Roberto Coin jewelry are acquired through legitimate sources that are a part of an international certification and a warranties system known as the Kimberley Process (KPCS). This system ensures that every diamond purchased is guaranteed to be 100% conflict free. If you look closely at a Roberto Coin piece, you will notice the fi ne craftsmanship as well as the way light plays with the stones and surfaces. Look even closer and you will see a small ruby cast into the majority of the pieces, hidden from view and typically on the back or inside of the piece. This hidden gem is a whisper of well wishes upon the wearer—a talisman of good health, long life and prosperity. Coin sees the hidden gem as a “secret message” to the women who wear his creations, as a “…romantic way to wish the best” to all those who wear his pieces.
