W Hamond is proud to announce we are now an Official Retailer for Roberto Coin jewellery. Offering breathtaking designs handcrafted from 18 carat gold and diamond, Roberto Coin has quickly become one of the best known brands on the jewellery horizon. Their relentless desire to create something different has attracted the likes of casual dressers and sophisticated trendsetters everywhere including celebrities and fashion icons on the red carpet.
Roberto Coin jewellery was first bought to life back in 1996 when founder, Roberto Coin, became inspired by the world’s diversities. From multi-ethnic cultures and influences, to nature and the balance between the past and the future, Roberto Coin jewellery embodies the beauty and contrasts of our world and as a result delivers an unmistakable allure of uniqueness and style identity.
“From the first steps that I took in this amazing field, I’ve always wanted Roberto Coin to be an eccentric entity, born in an unusual way and definitely unlike anyone else in both personality and objective. As a matter of fact, it was already clear to me in 1996 that this brand would represent diversity, and I knew that it was exactly this diversity that would become the fundamental characteristic of its identity.” – Roberto Coin, founder and designer of Roberto Coin jewellery
Roberto Coin’s first collection was named Appassionata with each piece uniquely signed by a small ruby. This delicate addition marked the history for the Roberto Coin brand, becoming a symbol of fine Italian craftsmanship, distinctive aesthetic and experimental design. A single ruby can still be found within every piece of Roberto Coin jewellery today, often hidden on the back of a pendant or on the inside of a bangle. This signature was inspired by the founder’s own passions for history and mythology, in particular three special stories. The first was based in the world of ancient Egypt and follows the beliefs of the Pharaohs who considered the ruby as a talisman that guaranteed love, joy and health. The second is based on the story of Burmese warriors who were convinced that the ruby, when in contact with their skin, could protect them from being wounded or killed on the battlefield. The last legend comes from an old folkloric Hindu myth in which the ruby gemstone was considered a precious fruit of the sacred Kalpa tree, a tree of hopes and desires.
The Roberto Coin Princess Flower jewellery collection has become one of their best-selling collections to date. The breathtaking designs are inspired by the brand’s original Princess family with the legendary flower re-elaborated to take centre stage beside blossoming jewels. Artfully crafted from only the finest yellow gold, rose gold and white gold, Roberto Coin Princess Flower jewellery is designed to transcend its wearer, uniting the romantic, gentle, and strong sides of every woman and shining brightly with ornamental detail. Each design, whether it be a necklace, ring, bracelet or earring, is inspired by the allure of flowers and the city of Venice with delicate bouquets of petals and Venetian nuances highlighting its allure.
The Roberto Coin Love in Verona jewellery collection is another fine exceptional of their exceptional ability to tell stories through diamonds and gold. Inspired by the city of Verona and its associations with romance and literature, each Love in Verona necklace, bracelet and ring repeats the iconic four-petal flower along the surface. The repetition of the pattern is evocative of the Arena of Verona, the architectural symbol of the city. These designs are also inspired largely by the Juliet Club, a group of women who read and answer love letters that arrive addressed to Juliet from all over the world. It is this commitment to romance and the loyalty to traditional storytelling that makes the Love in Verona collection one of our favourites.
