In 1999, the fame attributed to black diamond was strengthened when Fawaz Gruosi created a pair of sunglasses that has studded black diamonds. The creation was followed by the first diamond-studded mobile phone that also featured 240 pieces of black diamonds.
The Face of Exemplary Timepieces by Grisogono
The new millennium welcomed de Grisogono’s first watch collection which highlighted Fawaz Gruosi’s newest idea. He called the collection Instrumento N’Uno and he launched the collections at the World Watch and Jewelry Fair in Basel.
Every timepiece features galuchat on its straps. The galuchat was a treasure from the deep ocean and it was taken from “shagreen” or stingray skin and sharkskin. The name galuchat was coined by a leather genius and craftsman under the reign of Louis XV. The master craftsman was renowned for his power to clothe invaluable objects using leather materials.
The galuchat has become synonymous with high fashion timepieces that even the most discerning wearer will appreciate. Galuchat is just simply distinct and refined and a lot of interior designers favor this material over any other materials for ultimate luxury. The galuchat adorned with precious stones such as diamonds and emeralds became a favorite luxury item in the market. More so, galuchat on the straps of the timepiece and the blackened steel movement has breathed a new life in watch making.
The Revolutionary Icy Diamonds
It was also in the same year that Fawaz Gruosi launched his Icy Diamonds which were groundbreaking because the pieces feature high degree of fluorescence. According to the Gemological Institute of America scale, Icy Diamonds are actually white diamonds. Once again, the stone and the entire collection successfully revamped the interest of excellent stone collectors. The collection was even branded as the “milky diamonds” and as expected, de Grisogono’s aficionados were enchanted. Thanks to the brilliant mind of Fawaz Gruosi, the colorless and icy diamonds united with black diamonds were regarded as star collections.
The Browny Brown Gold by de Grisogono
It seems Fawaz Gruosi never gets tired of introducing contemporary trends and when he invented the Browny Brown Gold Collection, it was close to perfection—the right shade of browny brown gold was the most difficult shade to produce. The result of his work led to a bigger production scale of the collection. Then, more diversified colors were used to create precious metals and the radiant shade of chestnut brown was particularly conceived by Fawaz Gruosi.
