\u201cMy family are in London and my home is here. I find London is the most cosmopolitan city and an important capital for high jewellery Maisons,\u201d says Fawaz Gruosi, who has a long-established reputation as one of the world’s leading jewellery designers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Asked about his inspiration and what separates him from other designers, Fawaz says, \u201cI am not someone who follows what other people are doing. I\u00a0 focus on what I\u2019d like to do and on doing it perfectly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI am constantly inspired by all I see from everyday practical objects to art, nature, extraordinary people,\u201d Fawaz told Solitaire.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI am obsessed with coloured stones and cannot resist creating unique colour combinations and using different materials in my jewellery.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Fawaz’s jewellery often features rarely seen combinations of gemstones and other materials, such as emerald and turquoise, or amber and emerald.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The pieces, all designed by him personally,\u00a0are inspired by the natural shapes, voluminous curves, light and colours that can be found in things he sees around him every day and which constantly inspire him.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI believe that when you have something exceptional, customers will come to you,\u201d he says. \u201cMy clients are women who are confident, chic, innovators, not followers.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Fawaz Gruosi’s use of colour and the voluptuous size of his pieces, distinguish him from other designers. \u201cThe proliferation of emeralds and rubies of profound perfection is also unusual, as is the size of this collection of nearly 500 pieces of unique high jewellery which we created in two years,\u201d Fawaz says.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Supreme craftsmanship, sustainability and, as far as possible, a responsible supply chain is also important for him. \u201cThe big challenge for me and my team is ‘perfection’. The most important thing is for the workmanship to always be flawless. I have the exceptional record of producing almost 360 high jewellery designs in a year which means almost one design a day!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThis presents an enormous challenge for the team, to keep up with such production when every piece is handmade, unique, high jewellery,\u201d he adds, referring to the highly skilled artisans working at his atelier in Geneva.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cHowever, when I look back on my designs, such as the first watch I designed 20 years ago, I don\u2019t find it looks \u2018vintage\u2019 or outdated.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI hope my pieces are timeless. Naturally, it is ever more important to ensure sustainability and a responsible supply chain in our industry, and we are always working towards the best possible practice.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Fawaz’s favourite gemstones to work with, include top quality emeralds, rubies and sapphires \u2013 superb gemstones for crafting high jewellery.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cColour is my joy, emeralds my signature, accompanied by rubies, sapphires and extraordinary stones of every hue,\u201d Fawaz says. \u201cI like to mix them with hard stones such as turquoise and onyx and modern materials like ceramic.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Fawaz works often with untreated gemstones, but what matters most to him is a gemstone’s beauty and \u2018soul\u2019.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWhat attracts me is the emotion that a stone gives me,\u201d Fawaz says. \u201cEven though I am looking for untreated stones, if a stone has an extraordinary soul that captivates me I will use it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“I work with stones from every part of the world, not necessarily specifically one place. For me it is always about the emotion the stone evokes, not where it is from or who has cut and polished it.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
