Roberto Coin Creates Diamond Jewelry Set to Commemorate Neiman Marcus 100th Anniversary

In honor of the 100th anniversary of Neiman Marcus, Italian jewelry designer Roberto Coin created a parure of jewelry, valued at $5.26 million altogether.

The jewelry set had a Victorian antique-style setting featuring Roberto Coin's Cento diamonds - "cento" meaning 100 in Italian - where each diamond is cut to have 100 facets. The total carat weight of the diamond set is, yes, 100 carats. The jewelry set was part of the Cento collection (pictured here) where each diamond of every piece also has 100 facets. The magnificent necklace alone features 5-carat, 4-carat and 3-carat individual diamonds - a grand design for a grand occasion.

Roberto Coin also created a limited edition bracelet from his "Barocco" collection for the 100th anniversary. The rose gold bracelet had exactly 100 diamonds. This sophisticated Roberto Coin bracelet was limited to only 25 pieces and carried a suggested retail price of $24,250.

Typically preferring to create lustrous gold jewelry, Roberto Coin has really mastered working with diamonds. All of the Cento collection jewelry is clean, smooth and radiant. A beautiful partnership between Roberto Coin and Neiman Marcus has created a gorgeous result in this diamond jewelry set. Any woman would simply melt - or, faint - just by seeing it.
