Greer's OC

Magic Coins!

Luxury Italian jewelry designer, Roberto Coin just opened its first Orange County boutique at Fashion Island. The boutique is adjacent to Traditional Jewelers and also opened in collaboration with the renowned family owned jewelry store.

Roberto Coin, a famed Venetian jeweler, was reportedly one of the first to use three-color gold, and his signature is hiding a tiny ruby on the inside of each design. The ruby signifies a secret gift of good wishes to every woman wearing his piece.

Longtime fans can find his signature Appassionata Collection, a timeless basket weave design that interlocks ribbed 18-karat gold links in flexible, fabric-like movements, as well as iconic collections such as the Ipanema (pictured above) Mauresque, CapriPlus, and the Roberto Coin Cento, a dazzling 100-facet cut diamond collection.

Roberto Coin offers something for everyone, from multi-colored gemstone designs, to art nouveau and contemporary pieces. 

Open 10 a.m. to 9 p.m. Monday through Friday; 10 a.m. to 7 p.m. Saturday; 11 a.m. to 6 p.m. Sunday.
