Signature Aviation Spring 2025

Thispage Roberto Coin's jewelry is predominantly a handmade feat

pieces and every piece is checked at each step. Once the pieces are fi nished, a factory quality control manager inspects them. The goods are then passed on to a separate, independent specialist whose quality control team rechecks everything and reports directly to Carlo Coin. With a philosophy that the more challenging the design, the better, Roberto Coin has invented many exclusive and proprietary techniques in jewelry making, ranging from the creation of supple diamond set gold bracelets and necklaces that feel like silk on the skin, to reimagined three-dimensional animals that evoke a sensual and mysterious appeal. Says Roberto Coin, “If it is di ffi cult, we like it. If it is impossible, we want to do it. It is not the question of if you can sell it, it’s the question of if you can make it.” Because his drive is to constantly create something di ff erent, Roberto Coin launches about fi ve complete collections annually. And each and every piece carries an embedded ruby on the skin side of the piece — Coin’s personal signature that underscores his passion for life and creativity. Roberto Coin creates opening-price core lines (starting at $1,000), high-end jewelry (that retails from $50,000 to upwards of $100,000) and unique pieces. It can take three to four months to design a collection from idea to completion, with continuous review and re fi nement.

Just this past year, he introduced bold extensions of his fi ve-year-old Venetian Princess collection. Among them: the Carnevale and Pirouette. The Pirouette features a geometric fl oral, inspired by the fl owers atop the Doge's Palace in Venice, with a center that reverses, o ff ering diamonds on one side and colored inlays on the other. The Carnevale line, inspired by the bold and colorful masquerades of Venice, features exquisite

cabochon-cut gemstones in the center of the diamond-set fl owers. This is one of the most sought-after new collections. Is the collection Roberto Coin’s favorite? He says he doesn’t have one. “The best collection ever has not yet been made. While I love the pieces of the past, I always fall in love with the ones of the future.”
