JEWELRY DESIGNER
Andrew Grima was the most influential jewelry designer of the post-war period. He changed the way people perceived jewelry not just in Britain but around the globe and consequently is widely regarded as the father of modern jewelry. Entirely self-taught, he joined his father-in-law’s jewelry manufacturing business, H.J. Company, in 1946 and immediately set about innovating with new techniques and changing the emphasis from figurative to organic and abstract designs.
HOW TO WEAR IT
The secret to Grima’s inventive designs was that while they appeared simple and effortless, they required extraordinary skill to create. His designs are inspired by his travels and the natural world, as well as works of art he had seen.
A spirit that is present in every piece of the Maison Grima.
