Roberto Coin
O.C. Tanner is thrilled to announce a new premium brand to our line of fine jewelry collections. Roberto Coin of Italy!
Founded in Vicenza, Italy in 1977, Roberto Coin was first established by its eponymous creator to produce for internationally acclaimed jewelry brands. Many years later, the Roberto Coin brand was introduced in 1996 and within six years the brand reached the upper echelons of the jewelry world, ranking third internationally and first in Italy. Roberto Coin jewelry espouses the eternal search for beauty expressed through the seductive art and nature of the pieces.
The signature of Roberto Coin is the use of rubies in almost every jewelry creation. Ancient Egyptian legend holds that when touching the skin the ruby brings its wearer health, happiness and good fortune throughout their lives. Roberto Coin says, “I thought it was the most romantic way to wish the best to all people wearing my pieces.”
The Story of the Ruby
The ruby has always been enveloped in a legendary aura, and due to its exceptional quality of maintaining beauty throughout time it is considered eternal, like true love.
According to an ancient belief, wearing a ruby close to the skin promoted long life, health and happiness and even today it is believed to possess these magic powers including the extraordinary ability of giving peace.
In 1996, Roberto Coin started signing his jewels by setting a small ruby hidden on the inside of each piece, allowing the distinguished gem to kiss the skin.
Since then, this tradition has become the exclusive signature of every jewel by Roberto Coin, dedicated as a secret gift of good wishes to every woman lucky enough to wear one of his exclusive creations.
Roberto Coin’s jewelry is an exclusive mix of fantasy, intuition, creative exuberance and aesthetic sensitivity. Fine jewelry creations are like works of art. Each piece is the result of a journey amongst cultures and multiethnic influences, between echoes from the past and projections into the future.
List prices range from $150 up to $7,000 making Roberto Coin accessible to almost every Client and nearly every recipient in both Career Achievement and Performance programs.
