Roberto Coin, the man behind the brand, was not always in the world of jewelry. In the heart of Vicenza, Italy, often referred to as the "City of Gold," Roberto faced a life-changing tragedy; Orphaned at the age of 7, he was sent to a boarding school in Switzerland. There, amidst the snow-capped mountains, Roberto discovered a world of luxury in the hotel industry. He climbed its ranks, and by his early 30s, owned a prestigious four-star hotel. But beneath his successful exterior, a dormant passion for art and fashion stirred, and beckoned him to a new path. In 1977, Roberto decided to chase this passion. Selling his hotel, he dove headfirst into the world of jewelry, armed with nothing but raw talent and an unyielding spirit.<br><br> He began modestly, buying and selling jewels, learning the ropes, before starting to produce pieces for other renowned Italian brands.
