Italian jewelry designer Roberto Coin draws his latest
inspiration from the kingdom of beasts in the new Animalier Collection,
injecting the spirit of the wild in his unique glittering masterpieces.
Horses, bald eagles, geckos and fish feature prominently in
this collection, made largely of diamond-encrusted and enamel-accented silver
and gold. Coin also showcases the textures and patterns in the animal kingdom
in his work, with pieces reflecting cobra scales, elephant hide, turtle shells,
and the spots on giraffes and leopards.
Other previous metals and stones such as onyx and tiger’s eye also make
an appearance in the collection. In addition, each piece is set with a single
red ruby – a symbol of protection and the signature mark of the artist.
