Roberto Coin in Carnaby Street

Carnaby Street evokes many images: fashion of sixties, the Swinging London, the Soho district, the Beatles, Twiggy, Mary Quant … Now to this list of famous names also adds that of Roberto Coin. The Venetian jeweler, popular in Italy, but a celebrity in the States, has decided to dedicate to the street of London shopping a jewelry collection. The pieces have a rather unusual form: they are concave. The rings, for example, have the upper part, flat and at a lower level than the crown. Within this space, the band surrounding the center stone is covered with small diamonds set in rose gold, while in the center is placed a small slab of malachite, black jade, or mother of pearl. The collection is minimal: consists of three rings, earrings and three three chains with pendants, always made in the same style. Here are the pictures. Giulia Netrese
