Animalier horse bangle, Roberto Coin ($27,000) 

“Animals are what I always have represented since the ’80s, when I [designed] elephants, horses, and monkeys,” says Italian jewelry designer Roberto Coin. “It is part of my world and will continue to be so in the future in different ways and with different techniques.” Coin has long been enchanted with Arabian horses in particular, and his Animalier horse design, created at the request of the Sheik of Dubai to celebrate a new horse track, reflects the wild horse’s fierce nature. The striking adornment marries innovative design elements with attention to detail. The 18k-white-gold bangle is crafted with a flexible, hinged circumference as well as a diamond-encrusted bridle, delicate chain reins, and black diamond horse eyes. While steeped in tradition, the Animalier collection is a contemporary objet d’art, “following the fashion world and, in many cases, anticipating it,” making it a truly timeless gift. Neiman Marcus
