History of Roberto Coin
Born in Vicenza, Italy, also known as “the City of Gold,” luxury jewelry designer Roberto Coin creates contemporary masterpieces that demonstrate that he is a product of this architecturally-rich ancestrally-robust city.
His designs began to draw attention to the jewelry world, propelling the brand into the realm of international studies on creativity and quality. Each Roberto Coin necklace, bracelet, ring and pair of earrings has undergone an intricate process. Ultimately, his work serves as a metaphorical translation of ethnicity, nature, history, and future ideologies into wearable jewels.
Starting with a rough sketch of his designs, he teams up with his master jewelers who create digital renditions of his work that help to build wax replicas casting molds. He is very involved with every step of the jewelry making process, as he continues to surpass boundaries in creativity and design. Coin also plays a huge role in other parts of the company, including finance, manufacturing and marketing.
As a personal signature, Roberto Coin finishes each of his creations with a small ruby embedded on the inside or backside, so that the stone comes into direct contact with the skin of the person who wears it. The small ruby symbolizes good fortune and serves as a gift from Roberto Coin to his loyal clientele. He makes a note that he only uses synthetic rubies to ensure that each stone is sourced ethically.
Roberto Coin believes that “style is part of us, of our life, in every moment and every expression.” This quote holds weight today, as Roberto Coin continues to delight his clients with contemporary, bold, and abstract masterpieces that cater to the likes and trends of his patrons.
