Roberto Coin’s Stroke of High/Low Genius Will Make You Smile

One designer who always seems to be full of surprises? Roberto Coin.

Recently a random weekday visit to his showroom uncovered trays upon trays of diamond- and sapphire-encrusted cuffs and bangles (pictured below) that were literally fit for a princess.

His designs can often be seen burning up the red carpet; at the most recent Emmys, his jewels adorned the likes of actresses Kate McKinnon and Tatiana Maslany.

And then he comes out with the Tiny Treasures Emoji Collection, expertly transforming the mundane into something adorably, playfully chic. Tons of holiday gifting potential here and the six-piece collection is equally spot-on for Sweet 16 and bat mitzvah celebrations. Or a just because” for someone you flirt with via text on a regular basis.

Such a great example of how a heritage brand can keep things current with humor—and a wink at popular culture—that jewelry lovers of all ages can appreciate.

Or, to put it another way:
