Andrew Grima was the first jeweler to win the Queen's award for export in 1966 and the only jeweler to win the Duke of Edinburgh prize for elegant design. In 1966 he opened his shop in London on Jermyn Street with consecutive locations in Sydney, Tokyo, New York, Gstaad, Lugano and Zurich. His innovative designs followed the freeform style of jewelry of the 1960s and 1970s with highly textured yellow gold, asymmetrical rendering, the placement of large semi-precious stones and minimal use of diamonds. In 1993 Grima moved to Gstaad where he has his home, shop and workshop.
