de Grisogono

Fawaz Gruosi opened this Geneva house in 1993, made black diamonds fashionable in 1996, and built big, saturated jewels around them: spirals of rings, gold spheres, crowds of coloured stones. Bankrupt in 2020 and bought by Dubai's Damac Group in 2022, it sells no jewellery online today; degrisogono.com shows only a 'Coming Soon' page.

The conversation

de Grisogono answering

  • Trinity ring, classic model: three interlinked bands of yellow, rose and white gold, on a pale grey ground.

    Allegra after Trinity, Cartier

    Allegra winds thin bands round one another until a single ring looks like a loose, happy stack.

Answered by other houses

  • Berbère three-row ring in pink gold, three slim bands joined into one, on a light grey ground.

    Berbère, Repossi after Allegra

    Berbère takes up the single ring that reads as several and lines its rows up straight, plain or paved.
