Fawaz Gruosi, the visionary behind Swiss jeweler de Grisogono, has an instinctive passion for his craft. His dynamic creativity and non-conformist approach have been rejuvenating jewelry since the brand was founded in 1993 with a shop in Geneva's rue du Rhone. There, he eschewed the minimalism that was classic to the fashion world and focused instead on rich, sensual and more ornate jewelry. De Grisogono's first creation was a treasured pair of pearl and diamond earrings for Princess Salima Aga Khan, which perpetuated the luxury and exclusivity that would come to define the jeweler. Since then, influential women such as Sophia Loren, Camilla Duchess of Cornwall and Sharon Stone have embraced Gruosi's glittering designs that explore diamonds and uniquely colored stones with an innovative yet classic shape.
