(Press Release) NEW YORK – Ritani, a designer and manufacturer of custom engagement rings and fine jewelry, has announced a collaboration with Italian jewelry designer Roberto Coin
The partnership will add more than 40 new pieces from Roberto Coin’s Princess Flower Collection to Ritani’s “Designer Collections” exclusively curated fine jewelry platform.
The Roberto Coin items, which will be available at Ritani.com, mark the brand’s first fine jewelry items available for “free in-store preview” via its network of independent retailers.
The approach blends the online and in-store experience, providing consumers with a viewing opportunity with one of Ritani’s nearly 250 local community jeweler partners nationwide.
“We are thrilled to expand and enhance our Designer Collections portfolio with these striking Roberto Coin designs – the first made available through our industry-pioneering Free In-Store Preview offering,” said Mark Keeney, vice president of marketing for Ritani. “As we foster customer relationships for the long-term, we continually strive to provide a best-in-class progressive online and in-store shopping experience, offering diverse styles and price points.”
“Roberto Coin is enthusiastic about the partnership with Ritani as we are looking to reach their strong millennial audience,” said Katie Kinsella, senior vice president of marketing for Roberto Coin. “We think this platform will help our retail network get the Millennials back into the brick and mortar stores.”
These designs will be available on Ritani’s website beginning Oct. 12.

Honoring a Legacy: How Smith & Son Jewelers Exceeded Every Goal With Wilkerson
When Andrew Smith decided to close the Springfield, Massachusetts location of Smith & Son Jewelers, the decision came down to family. His father was retiring after 72 years in the business, and Andrew wanted to spend more time with his children and soon-to-arrive grandchildren.
For this fourth-generation jeweler whose great-grandfather founded the company in 1918, closing the 107-year-old Springfield location required the right partner. Smith chose Wilkerson, and the experience exceeded expectations from start to finish.
"Everything they told me was 100% true," Smith says. "The ease and use of all their tools was wonderful."
The consultants' knowledge and expertise proved invaluable. Smith and his father set their own financial goal, but Wilkerson proposed three more ambitious targets. "We thought we would never make it," Smith explains. "We were dead wrong. We hit our first goal, second goal and third goal. It was amazing."
Smith's recommendation is emphatic: "I would never be able to do what they did by myself."
