Roberto Coin Introduces New Navarra Collection
Known as an icon in the jewellery industry, you may have come across the eponymous brand from the Venetian designer at its swanky outlet at The Starhill or adorned by celebrities such as Michelle Obama and Selena Gomez. The new Navarra collection was inspired by a northern Spanish region in the middle of the woods comprising small, ancient towns that surround their capital, Pamplona, a land of great bloodlines of warriors. The pieces reinterpret the ancient Kingdom of Navarre coat of arms, made of 16 chains in a sunburst pattern dominated by a great, glorious crown. The majestic designs border on regal austerity but are made to be worn as essentials with the modern, powerful woman in mind.
