An 18ct gold and diamond brooch/pendant by Andrew Grima, 1967, the cast grass seed head with diamond highlights, contained within a tapered sheath with serrated edges, the reverse signed ‘GRIMA’, with maker’s mark ‘HJCo.’, London hallmark, with leather maker’s pouch, total diamond weight approximately 0.30 carat, length 7.5cm. £2,000-£3,000 --- Andrew Grima (1921-2007) was born in Rome to Italian-Maltese parents. Raised in London, he studied mechanical engineering at the University of Nottingham. He joined the Royal Engineers, serving in Burma during World War II. After the war, he started working in his father-in-law’s jewellery firm in London. In 1951, when his father-in-law died, Grima took over the business and sold it to a stone dealer in Knightsbridge, on condition that he stayed on as a designer. Entirely self taught, his limitless imagination led him to create bold and striking designs - each piece being hand wrought, and typically only creating one of each design. In 1960 Grima’s talent was spotted by the art director at Goldsmiths’ Hall, Graham Hughes, who introduced his protégé to many of the rich and famous people 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 that Grima received his royal warrant. In the late 1960s he opened his exclusive gallery in Jermyn Street, Mayfair - the opening event being hosted by Lord Snowdon, then married to Princess Margaret, and his career continued to escalate, attracting a clientele of royalty and society jet-setters of the day. Winner of numerous awards for his contribution to the jewellery industry, including the Duke of Edinburgh Prize for Elegant Design in 1966, and the De Beers Diamonds International Awards - awarded 13 times, (more than any other jeweller)), today Grima is recognised as one of the greatest modernist jewellery designers of the 20th century.

Originally called the Hansom Safety Cab, it combined both speed and safety, having a low centre of gravity for safe manoeuvring. Hansom cabs proved to be extremely popular. as they were light, fast and agile in London traffic. Other overseas countries took up the design, including European cities particularly Paris, Berlin and St Petersburg. By the late 19th century, they were in common use in the United States, particularly in New York City. By the 1920s. the hansom cabs were largely being superseded by motor vehicles.
