a malaysian first
Earlier this year, Starhill Gallery welcomed the larger-than-life personage of Roberto Coin, the founder of the eponymous global jewellery brand known for its diverse collections. The occasion of his appearance in Starhill Gallery was due to the unveiling of Roberto Coin’s first boutique in Malaysia – a 150-square-metre space dedicated to his iconic designs such as the Pois Moi (awarded the Best Italian Collection in the world), Black Jade, New Barocco, Princess and many others.
In conjunction with this special day, Roberto Coin launched an exclusive pendant, limited to 38 pieces, to raise funds for the Society of the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals (SPCA) Selangor. This move was typical of Coin, who had been committed to corporate social responsibility from the very start, with every diamond used certified by the Kimberly Process and compliance with the Dodd Frank Act requiring all gold to be certified as originating from conflict-free zones.
