ANDREW GRIMA

Esprit Joaillerie invites you to spend this autumn with Andrew Grima through the book that has just been published. Andrew Grima The father of Modern Jewellery.

First of all, this book offers us a glimpse into the life of this London jeweller of the 1960s and 1970s. Moreover, this renowned jeweller has received numerous awards, including the 11th De Beers Diamonds International Awards.
First and foremost, he is appreciated for his graphic style. It should be noted that this genius designer is also an engineer and businessman.

Indeed, he has a real gift for choosing unconventional stones. Andrew showcases them in gold that is textured to make them even more precious. Thus, each creation is a work of art, a perfect balance between boldness and sobriety. Each of his creations is unique.
Also, I leave you to appreciate his genius.
