The Ruby Story:
An ancient Egyptian legend says that a ruby touching the skin of a woman brings great
happiness and good fortune. On a spiritual level, rubies are believed to banish evil
thoughts and reconcile disputes. In 1996 Roberto Coin introduced the “Appassionata
Collection” where a small hidden ruby was placed in each piece to be in contact with the
skin. Since then, it has become a tradition to have a hidden ruby in each Roberto Coin
jewelry piece. Underwood’s introduced “Appassionata” to North Florida in 1996 and has
carried Roberto Coin jewelry since it was introduced in the United States.
