"The life of Andrew Grima, the Italian-Anglo jeweler beloved of the
royals, is celebrated in a stunning new book." - People "a detailed
and lavishly illustrated portrait" - Rapaport magazine The father
of modern jewellery, the golden engineer, the King of Bling...
These are just some of the epithets assigned to Andrew Grima, the
British genius who marched in the vanguard of a 1960s London-based
movement that created a new vocabulary for jewellery design.
Jeweller to the royals and the jet set, to the rule makers and the
tastemakers, Grima was a feted celebrity who appeared on talk
shows, in Pathé newsreels and in advertisements for Canada Dry. He
won The Queen's Award for Export, The Duke of Edinburgh's Prize for
Elegant Design and a record 11 De Beers Diamonds International
Awards (the 'Oscars' of the jewellery world). This book illuminates
the career of a man who participated in a golden age of British
creativity. It contains a dazzling array of never-before-seen
sketches, designs and photographs from the Grima archives and
includes a sparkling preface from the doyen of jewellery experts,
TV celebrity Geoffrey Munn. A must-buy publication for art and
jewellery lovers alike. “Since discovering the work of Andrew
Grima, I have not only become a collector of his exquisite
creations, I have also become one of the many to be inspired by his
unique and inimitable designs. Each piece of jewellery, each watch,
each object is a sculpture.” - Marc Jacobs "His work, his
style, is completely identifiable, it’s unique.” - James Taffin
