Before deciding to open a new thread on the topic, I did a search on Roberto Coin. I found his name primarily in the thread on crosses where his tiny treasures crosses were discussed at length. Naturally he has been mentioned in other threads as well. I hope that I am not duplicating a thread that exists elsewhere on Pricescope, however, when I start one here about his designs!

I thought that Jewelry Pieces would be a good place to have threads on individual designers if we wanted to have any discussions of individual designers separate from "The Gold Thread". I just happened to buy a Roberto Coin Pallini Collection bracelet and pair of earrings today, so he was on my mind!

I already had single ball earrings (they come on earwires or as studs), but I had been wondering what the group of three balls dangling together looked like. I had also wondered what the necklaces looked like.

Well, today I got to try everything on! I loved the earrings with the three balls hanging from each one, but none of the neclaces looked right to me. I had loved the way they looked on-line, but on me each one looked too ornate, too much. The bracelet, on the other hand (no pun intended), looked fabulous!

So I now have the the three-ball dangle earrings and the bracelet in addition to a pair of the single-ball earrings. The single ball earrings come in different sizes as well as in studs and ear wires, though, so one could go crazy and collect different sizes and styles if she was so inclined!
