Originally from Buenos Aires, born into a family that dealt in precious stones, it was no surprise he conceived a passion for cultured pearls and won recognition as a leading expert in the field. Fred imbued his designs with the energy of South America, saying my creations are inspired by the life, the light, the movement, the energy. His passion for life and light is expressed in his jewellery through the use of coloured gemstones and playful motifs. During World War II, Fred Samuel fled Paris and became an interpreter for the Allies. The name Fred was adopted by the brand post war, after it was imposed by German occupiers instead of 'Fred Samuel' because of the Jewish origins of its founder.Describing himself in 1936 as a ‘Contemporary Creative Jeweller’, he staked a claim for modernity based on striking jewellery, pieces with rounded, curvaceous lines. Fred became famous for jewels designed by Jean Cocteau and for its famous clients, such as Marlène Dietrich and the royal family of Monaco, including princess Grace. In 1966 Fred Paris was the inventor of cable jewellery 'Force 10' (made of stainless steel) and this feature is still very prominent today in ring, bracelet, pendant and necklace designs.As the brand grew new stores were opened across the world; 1976 Monte Carlo, 1981 Cannes, 2001 Tokyo and 2007 Beijing, Dubai and Bogotá. The company became the property of LVMH in 1996 and Fred collaborated with Kate Moss for the design of an exclusive collection in 2012.Fred Paris designed the iconic 23 heart-cut ruby necklace interlaced with diamonds, which was gifted to Julia Roberts by Richard Gere in the film Pretty Woman. The last major film for which Fred Paris provided jewellery was Casino Royale starring Daniel Craig, featuring the star collection pendant and earrings.The two beautiful diamond set pieces are perfect examples showcasing the Force 10 feature. The double strand cross over diamond collar, with the Force 10 link off set from the centre is a very glamorous and modern piece, that could be worn both day or night, accompanied by the spectacular pave-set diamond ring. Both pieces have a pear and round brilliant diamond set in the centre of the Force 10 link, adding extra sparkle and artistry to the pieces.
