Founded fifteen years ago, the de Grisogono brand has established itself today as on the top names in high jewellery. Its founder, Fawaz Gruosi, and his team, work hard to unearth the finest stones on the planet, to portray the imagination of the de Grisogono designer.
A bold strategy that goes against the tide - most jewellers design their collections on acquired precious stones not the reverse, with ever-increasing difficulties in procuring quality gems.

Unique in their own way, these fine stones have roots in the same mines as rubies, emeralds and other diamonds. With a superb range of colours, some turquoises are so pure that they become priceless, sometimes exceeding the diamond price.
An ancient legend says: go back in time and imagine when the earth did not have the shape that we know today. Huge amounts of different materials drifted, interacted, blended and moved around. Amazing temperatures associated to very high pressures led to create amalgams that are unconceivable nowadays. However, today we can admire the results.
These big changes create new crystal rocks. Some of them were coloured, therefore these seldom stones have been baptised as “precious coloured stones”.
The turquoise is an antique stone; however it is still very much in fashion. This intense blue has always been one of the most popular colours of all times and throughout in the fashion world.
Within all cultural traditions, new or ancient, the turquoise stone is considered as a sacred stone and a good luck charm.
