Whether it’s the iconic four-petal flower motif of their Princess line or the brilliant cut diamonds handset into every design, there are very few fine jewellery brands that can compete with the outstanding reputation of Roberto Coin. Calling to women of elegance, grace and luxury, Roberto Coin jewellery is here to stay at C W Sellors.
A Brief History of Roberto Coin
Roberto Coin, founder and designer of Roberto Coin jewellery, has become an inspiration to all that surround him, captivating with his astonishing philosophies on life and fine jewellery craftsmanship. His journey began back in 1996 with the design of his first Roberto Coin collection called Appassionata. Every piece within the collection was individually signed by a small ruby, an uncommon signature but one that signalled the beginning of the Roberto Coin brand and the fate of sophisticated women everywhere.
A single ruby can still be found within every piece of Roberto Coin jewellery today, often hidden inside the band of a ring or on the back of a diamond pendant. This signature is inspired by the founder’s own appetite for history and mythology, in particular three stories that mix reality with imagination - just like his fine jewellery collections. The first story derives from ancient Egypt and follows the beliefs of the Pharaohs who considered the ruby as a talisman that guaranteed love, joy and health. The second harks back to Burmese warriors who were convinced that the ruby, when in contact with their skin, could protect them from being wounded or killed on the battlefield. The last legend comes from an old folkloric Hindu myth in which the ruby gemstone was considered a precious fruit of the sacred Kalpa tree, a tree of hopes and desires.
“From the first steps that I took in this amazing field, I’ve always wanted Roberto Coin to be an eccentric entity, born in an unusual way and definitely unlike anyone else in both personality and objective. As a matter of fact, it was already clear to me in 1996 that this brand would represent diversity, and I knew that it was exactly this diversity that would become the fundamental characteristic of its identity.” – Roberto Coin
The Roberto Coin Jewellery Collections
Leading the line of Roberto Coin fine jewellery designs is their Princess Flower collection, a series of 18ct gold and diamond necklaces, rings, earrings and bracelets characterised by a four-petal flower. Artfully crafted from yellow, rose and white gold, each flower takes inspiration from the allure of nature as well as the city of Venice which with its delicate bouquets of petals and Venetian nuances are unmissably alluring. Just like the flowers that inspire it, ladies that wear the Princess Flower will flourish, bloom and blossom.
Similarly, the Roberto Coin Venetian Princess jewellery collection revives the flower motif using hand engraving, twisted wire detailing and a range of polished and brushed finishing, The final result is breathtaking, with each hand-assembled petal decorated with diamonds, set by hand one by one. The Roberto Coin Love in Verona jewellery line is just as romantic, transporting you to the place where Shakespeare’s famous romance tale, Romeo and Juliet, was set. Verona, known as the capital of love, directly inspires the designs with notions of kindness, romance and tradition.
