Founded in Vicenza, so called the City of Gold, 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 and rubellite in almost every jewelry piece, symbolizing the happiness a woman will feel when she adorns herself in an exquisite Roberto Coin jewelry piece.
