Spectacular Andrew Grima Brooch
SOLD
Circa 1967, 18k, by Andrew Grima for Haller Jewellry Co., London.  From the catwalk at fashion week to idyllic cocktails poolside, this brooch has it all! Designed in London by Andrew Grima,  arguably the most important modernist goldsmith of the post-war period, the look has considerable aesthetic wattage. It features a striking 18.0-carat cabochon tourmaline and .65 carats of fine white diamonds (H color, SI1 clarity). With pieces in every important Decorative Arts collection worldwide, Andrew Grima's work was inspirational; it challenged us with new visual images, blending Art and Fashion in brilliantly innovative ways. Excellent condition.
Remarks from Lawrence Jeffrey: "Collected by Queen Elizabeth II, she had several very similar brooches to this one. Prince Phillip often gave Grima jewelry to her as a anniversary gift. Andrew Grima, recognized as perhaps the greatest modernist jewelry designer of the 20th century, revolutionized the jewelry world in the 1960s. His heady influence on an entire generation of goldsmiths is undeniable."
