Sophisticated showstoppers

Renowned for its creative, daring and distinctly unique designs, Swiss-based jeweler de GRISOGONO has been reinventing the conventions of fine jewelry since the brand was established in 1993 by its charismatic founder, Fawaz Gruosi. With its captivating combination of Florentine and Byzantine influences, its striking gem combinations and expert level of hand-craftsmanship, de GRISOGONO has set itself apart in the jewelry world as a modern go-to for showstopping pieces. Eschewing the minimalist aesthetic that characterized the early ’90s in favor of richly ornate designs, its first creation was a bespoke pair of pearl and diamond earrings for the Princess Salimah Aga Khan, who epitomized the luxury and exclusivity that would come to define the brand. Since then, influential women such as Sophia Loren, Sharon Stone and Camilla, Duchess of Cornwall, have all donned de GRISOGONO’s glittering jewelry pieces, which explore black and white diamonds, uniquely colored stones and innovative yet classic forms.

As worn on the red carpet by some of the world’s best-dressed stars, the brand’s 18-karat white-gold ‘Ventaglio’ earrings are the perfect finishing touch for a glamorous evening look. Encrusted with rows of white and blackened diamonds in de GRISOGONO’s signature fan-shaped silhouette, the monochrome palette ensures they’ll complement any outfit, from a tuxedo-style pantsuit to a brightly colored evening gown. With its similarly striking use of monochrome gems, the ‘Allegra Toi & Moi’ long necklace pairs beautifully with the earrings. Featuring high-shine onyx cabochons alongside two diamond-encrusted ‘links’ in a captivating weaving effect, the necklace can be worn at different lengths and tailored to suit the top or dress you’re wearing it with – wrap it twice around the neck for a coolly modern, longer look that’s perfect with a plunging neckline, or three times for a shorter layered effect.

Inspired by the retro elegance of the French Riviera, de GRISOGONO’s ‘Raggiante’ collection brings the hallmarks of Art Deco-style opulence into the 21st century. Characterized by a luminous asymmetrical sun-ray design, the pink-gold ‘Raggiante’ earrings and ring are a timeless addition to any jewelry collection. Fans of old-school glamour will also fall in love with the brand’s new ‘Divina’ collection: a set of earrings, a bracelet and a ring inspired by 1950s Hollywood and the Golden Age of cinema. Available in pink- and white-gold and abundantly paved in diamonds, ‘Divina’ is instantly recognizable thanks to its beautifully alluring curved design.

Combining a heritage of noble craftmanship with an ultra-modern sensibility, de GRISOGONO continues to push boundaries and set itself apart with a singular elegance – long may it continue.
