“Fashion should represent freedom; freedom for the person who wears jewellery and freedom for the person who creates it. Fashion should enhance the personality of everybody; it’s an art, but the art of being different and should increase the ability of today’s women to feel more comfortable in their own role.” — Roberto Coin
With a passion for creating jewellery that is as much about
art as it is about fashion, Roberto Coin’s jewellery is loved the world over
for it’s timeless elegance and femininity.
The company was founded in 1977 in Vicenza, Italy, a city
renowned for it’s jewellery production, particularly gold. The business started
life as a manufacturer of other prestigious jewellery brands. It wasn’t until
1996 the Roberto Coin realised his lifelong dream of designing jewellery and
turned the company into a brand.
Today, Roberto Coin has established itself as one of the
world’s leading Italian jewellers. His fans include Hilary Clinton, Madonna,
Charlize Theron. Sarah Jessica Parker and Alicia Keys.
His diverse following reflects the wide appeal of Roberto
Coin jewellery. Roberto Coin has always eschewed fads in favour of timeless, elegant
designs. His jewellery combines the proud jewellery heritage of Vicenza as well
as a desire to innovate. Roberto Coin jewellery was the first brand to
reintroduce three coloured gold jewellery in 1978. Coin also patented a
production method that has given his jewellery a unique and characteristic
silk-like finish.
Since 1996, Roberto Coin has been setting a small ruby in a
hidden position in all his jewellery, as both a signature and a little gift to
the wearer. Called the King of gems, the ruby is said to bring peace and
promote long life.
At the end of last year, Gatwards were pleased to acquire
Roberto Coin’s new Fifth Season Brand, which aims to introduce Roberto Coin’s
style to a whole new generation. Fifth Season includes the first pieces by
Roberto Coin to incorporate silver.
Roberto Coin said of the brand:
"My idea is that jewellery is connected to an attitude
rather than an ideal concept.
"The name 'The Fifth Season' appropriately refers to a
woman's evolving sense of style, seeing how fashion changes as quickly and as
regularly as the seasons, the jewellery line adds to an already outstanding
repertoire, allowing every woman to dress for her mood."
The collection embodies all that is best about Roberto Coin
– attention to detail, an innovative approach to design, shape, colour and
texture – but in a choice of colours and metals to suit your own personal
style.
