DESIGNER SPOTLIGHT
BY CAROL BESLER
A great jewelry collection is one that has that extra spark of creativity, something that tells you it was created by a designer who sees the world through a special lens. When Roberto Coin looks at a glorious garden, he sees diamonds set in flower patterns. When he looks at great architecture, he sees a cuff bracelet in hand-finished gold. He is inspired by travel, culture, the oceans, the animal kingdom, and by the beautiful women who wear his jewelry. ROBERTO COIN JEWELRY INSPIRED BY THE BEAUTY THAT SURROUNDS US
This year, Roberto was inspired by the culture and climate of the Navarre region of northern Spain, a beautiful area dotted with vineyards and olive groves, charming villages, and Gothic cathedrals. The capital, Pamplona, is famous for its running of the bulls. The NAVARRA COLLECTION is classic yet modern, in the same way that Navarre is a mix of modern and ancient cultures. It is based on a distinctive pattern of intertwined solid links, interpreted as gorgeous gold bangles trimmed with diamonds or lariat-style necklaces with ruby-trimmed toggle clasps.
