De Grisogono is a Swiss luxury jeweller. It was founded in Geneva, Switzerland, in 1993 by black diamond specialist Fawaz Gruosi.[1] an Italian of Lebanese origin.
The Italian name Grisogono derives from Latin Chrysogonus, itself coming from Greek Chrysogonos χρῡσό-γονος, which means "begotten of gold".
Overview
In 2017, De Grisogono entered into a new partnership with former Leviev executives David and Lisa Klein.[2][3]
Creation I, a necklace by de Grisogono, was sold for nearly Dh125 million, in 2017's Christie's sale.[4][5]
In 2017 the company set a new record at Christie's Magnificent Jewels sale in Geneva when it sold the world's biggest-ever emerald cut diamond offered at auction. The 163.41-carat D Flawless stone, which was cut from a 404 carat rough, was incorporated into a necklace designed by Fawaz Gruosi. It fetched 33.5 million Swiss francs, beating the previous record for a D Flawless diamond by nearly five million Swiss francs.[6]
