Roberto Coin Cobra
 
I have always liked and been fascinated with snakes. When I was a child, I used to bring home snakes on a constant basis and keep them in terrariums, or let them go in my mother’s rock garden. It got to the point where she had to trim the foliage with a small pair of scissors to avoid injuring the introduced wildlife.
 
I still have a weakness for anything snake and this Roberto Coin Cobra is certainly that. It is a torque, which is a form of necklace I really like on a woman, with no catches or chains to frustrate.
 
Its diamond-encrusted head scintillates with colour and sits perfectly on the wearer. It is in short, a dramatic piece of evening jewelry.
 
What I personally find the most amazing is the attention to detail on the enameled 18k scales that run from the pave diamonds back.
 
It is an eye-catching piece from the Roberto Coin Animalier collection and is a standout in a collection that features some of his most significant pieces of fine jewelry.
