ROBERTO COIN
Roberto Coin, best-known Italian luxury jewelry brand, is epitomized by its perfect combination of timeless craftsmanship and modern innovation. The brand originated in Vicenza, Italy, and being born in the “City of Gold” is no coincidence. Each of these designer pieces is handcrafted in white, yellow and rose 18K gold with and without diamonds and other precious stones. The Venetian Princess Collection is one of the Maison’s most iconic; the feminine pieces are representations of ancient Venetian architecture. The stunning blue of the lapis lazuli gemstone is accented by rose gold and pavé diamonds. As with all of Roberto Coin’s collections, each piece features his signature, hand-placed ruby on the inside, a gift-within-a-gift for the lucky wearer.

MIKIMOTO
Kokichi Mikimoto successfully created the world’s first cultured pearls more than 125 years ago. Since then, his eponymous brand has become known for its luxurious pieces, which combine the cultured pearl with diamonds, stones and various metals. The Mikimoto Classic South Sea Collection features Black, Golden and White South Sea cultured pearls, elegantly framed by sparkling white diamonds and 18K gold detailing. While characterized as black, the rich, dark colors actually range from slate gray to pistachio with overtones of green, pink or blue. The golden pearls are produced by the golden-lipped oyster. Deep golden colored pearls are rarest of them all. Mikimoto’s Ocean Collection is inspired by the tranquil ebb and flow of water. Each piece features an Akoya cultured pearl paired with brilliant blue sapphires to symbolize the beauty of the crashing waves.
