Born in Rome of Italian-Maltese parents, Andrew Grima was raised in London, and served in Burma with the Royal Engineers during World War II. After the war he worked in his father-in-law’s London jewellery firm. In 1951 following his father-in-law’s death, Grima took over the business.
In 1960 his talent was spotted by Graham Hughes, Art Director at Goldsmiths’ Hall, who introduced his protégé to many of the rich and famous of society who were to become his clients. In 1966 his success was sealed when Prince Philip chose one of his pieces, a stunning ruby brooch, as a present for the Queen, 1966 also being the year Grima received his royal warrant. In the late 1960s he opened his gallery in Jermyn Street, Mayfair and his reputation continued to grow, attracting a clientele of royalty and jet-setters of the day.
The winner of numerous awards for his contribution to the jewellery industry, today Grima is recognised as one of the great modernist designers of the 20th century.
