Along with their creative designs, Roberto Coin jewelry is distinctive because of the use of texture in the pieces. I find the unique textures and various shades to be incredibly flattering to one's skin.

John Hardy uses Balinese jewelry-making techniques to create all of their jewelry, which are accomplished by hand. Interestingly, this particular bracelet was inspired by dragons and their coat of mail, as is the rest of Hardy's Naga Collection.
