If you have followed me on social media for any length of time, you know that my passion is gold. Its rich, sunny hues complement every skin tone and to me, no one can fashion gold into fabulous, wearable jewelry better than the Italians.
Vicenza is the center of the gold universe, and the home of one of Italy’s premier designers, Roberto Coin. Since 1977, Roberto Coin has created and marketed a premier 18K gold collection that spans from classic hoop earrings to one-of-a-kind jeweled animal pieces. Using designs and techniques from many different factories enable the RC line to be quite diverse - with quality and attention to detail being the common quality in every style.
Italians have always been my style leader for gold design. Their designers always create new fluid styles that are easy to collect (and wear) with the gold jewelry we’ve worn for decades. One way to see the wonderful Italian craftsmanship is to look at the back of the piece. All of Roberto Coin’s pieces are as detailed and beautifully finished on the undersides and galleries as they are on tops. His signature is a tiny ruby setting on the inside of each piece – a truly personal and passionate touch.
Haltom’s carries a number of pieces from Roberto Coin. If you’re looking to spruce up the gold pieces in your jewelry box, please stop by. We’d love to help you add a piece or two to your collection.
