It’s easy to understand Andrew Grima’s career pivot in hindsight – a WWII veteran turned mechanical engineer who threw out the rulebook to open a jewelry business with no formal training; his extraordinary pieces and avant-garde bent prove his decision was kismet. Securing him a Royal Warrant and 12 De Beers international awards, Grima’s pieces are famously sought-after collectibles. This pendant necklace, with the stone crafted by the nonpareil Atelier Munsteiner – the leading name in gemstone cutting – is one of a kind and an artistic expression of Modernism realised in 18-karat white gold, cabochon opal and agate.
