Flowers from Tahiti with the Tiaré collection for the 30th anniversary of Maison Roberto Coin.
Roberto Coin founded his company in Vicenza in 1977, but for the first twenty years, he produced jewelry for prestigious international jewelry companies. His own brand collections arrived in 1996: the Maison, famous for its jewelry often inspired by Venice, thus celebrates its 30th anniversary.
The latest Tiaré collection, however, flies from Venice to the islands of Tahiti. The oceanic country that enchanted Paul Gaugin continues to exert a special fascination in the Western imagination. Tahitian women enchant visitors with a garland of white and pink flowers: it is the fragrant Gardenia taitensis, or Tahitian gardenia, also called tiaré. A curiosity: in ancient Polynesian culture, the flower, if worn in the left ear, signaled an engaged or married girl, while in the right ear, a single girl. In any case, these tropical flowers inspired the collection
The beauty of the Polynesian flower inspired Roberto Coin: it is an exclusive collection, just like the history of this flower. The jewels are made with gold that intersects with mother-of-pearl, diamonds and rubellite creating a corolla of colors that recall those of natural flowers. The stones play between voluptuous cabochon shapes and vertiginous cuts. The candor of mother-of-pearl alternates with the depth of rubellite.
