Curated by Lane Crawford

Roberto Coin draws inspiration from a rich tapestry of art, culture, and nature, seamlessly blending contemporary aesthetics with traditional techniques. His signature use of 18-carat gold, vibrant gemstones, and intricate motifs reflects a commitment to quality and detail that resonates with jewellery lovers around the world. One of the brand’s hallmarks is the hidden ruby, a symbol of good fortune and a personal touch that Coin incorporates into every piece.

This time around, Lane Crawford sat down with Roberto Coin to explore the artistry behind one of his most intricate creations, highlight standout pieces from their latest curated collection, and reveal what’s next for the brand.

Lane Crawford offers a diverse range of collections, particularly highlighting the new Carnival and Tiarè collections. These collections enhance the current high-end creative aesthetic through the use of exclusive and vibrant gemstones in a stunning array of colours.

The Animalier collection poses a unique challenge, featuring intricate pieces like the elephant, horse, tiger, and the most demanding of all: the lion. Crafting a single lion ring takes over a month, as we meticulously set thousands of tiny rings by hand to create a mane that captures the lion’s dynamic essence, resembling the majestic creature itself.

While we may not be as well-known in Hong Kong as we are in countries like the U.S., the Arab world, or Europe, we distinguish ourselves by creating 600 new models each year, making us one of the most innovative brands in the industry. This commitment to variety enhances our brand identity, as we prioritise creativity over mere recognition. If I were to highlight a constant source of inspiration, it would undoubtedly be the city of Venice and its stunning architectural details.

We have enjoyed a collaboration that has lasted over 30 years, yet we have struggled to fully showcase our design capabilities in Hong Kong. We are now making a concerted effort to express our strengths in this vibrant market in the near future.

This is an excellent question, as we are now dedicating significant time and focus to expanding our brand across various countries in Asia. Currently, we have a presence in Malaysia and the Philippines, and we are making strides in Japan, with plans to open in South Korea soon. Additionally, we are active in China through Tmall, and due to the strong demand there, we are actively seeking new partnerships.
