As much as Roberto Coin is known for his designs, he is also regarded as someone who never shies away from utilising a complete deluge of precious stones for that spectacular shine in his creations. And his new collection CapriPlus is no different as well as the two mantra go by.

The prettiest of stones have been chosen in soft, pastel shades to keep a very earthy feel to the complete line of jewelry, except for one which dazzles in black, pink or yellow sapphires, or brown diamonds. We are told that the Isle of Capri is the inspiration for Coin to develop this new collection, which is well reflected in the name itself. In fact, special attention has been paid to capture the glorious sunsets of the place.

There are several wood versions too, if you are looking for something unique. The CapriPlus collection will be launched in September with the price ranging between $1K and $5K.
