The Cuban leader Fidel Castro, a revolutionary Che Gevara, politicians Winston Churchill and Bill Clinton, writers Somerset Maugham and Mark Twain, the actor and the political figure Arnold Schwarzenegger – these names are well-known and these figures are best known to the world for their political, social, literary and other achievements. Moreover, the abovementioned people highly esteem cigar smoking and, thus, they come as people who own the greatest number of tools and accessories so requisite for this leisurely process and among others there are cigar lighters.
In the light of a variety and availability of glass items, glass ware is still appreciated by plenty people, especially when it comes to cut glass. The cut glass produces a long, lingering and musical tune when you put your finger at the cut-glass edge. So, in Japan the craftsmen make unique musical instruments. A crystal violin, completely transparent, is estimated for fifty thousand USD. Crystal glass tableware is not so much expensive though it is able to produce the charming, unique and so brittle music providing it is properly cared.
Wealthy persons are mostly known for their fortune only. However, despite they make billions, these people possess some personal features that attract people when estimating them. While Warren shovels up money, he has to do with quite conflicting image he created: he is known to be the proved miser and at the same time he privately donates huge amounts for charity purposes.
Success stories come in different forms. For some people it is a romantic and beautiful love affair while for other ones it is a fairy tale. Others write their history in ancient chronicles. But such a soaring story like Fawaz Gruosi's one none truly ever had. The businessman, jeweler and designer is not afraid to take risks, and go there where no one has even risked to take a step. It does not matter to him what it is: jewellery, watches or life. For that, only exclusive and luxury items are produced under the De Grisogono brand name.
Fawaz Gruosi himself believes that his jewellery
is for exclusive women. In his view, such women are not afraid to take
risks, wear De Grisogono, which is not worn by anyone, and be the
first. Women should be original, and my small success is that my
jewellery are worn by just such women. Each of his work is done in a
single copy; he does not produce collections and this is one of the
major components that differentiate his work from other jewellery.
According to the owner of De Grisogono brand, luxury is possible only
when it is exclusive and there is no other way. Working with many
renowned jewelers, Fawaz Gruosi at some point realized that he does
not want to sell jewellery, which he did not like, and which means it
is time to open his own business. His choice was the unusual black
diamonds that were almost unknown at that time in the jewellery market.
Casually thumbing through the catalogue of
jewels, Fawaz Gruosi came across the famous black diamond Orlov and was
struck by its beauty. However, such large and unusual stones are
extremely rare, while the bulk of small black diamonds at that time was
on the technical details. Having decided to work with these unusual
minerals, Fawaz Gruosi contacted the dealer of the stones from Antwerp
and bought a few pieces of diamond with a very small amount of money.
Having placed them on his worktable, he constantly looked at the stones
when he smoked, talked on the phone or when he walked in and out of the
room, studying them from different angles. At a point, he noticed that
in the combined black and white diamond, white gave shine to the black,
and vice versa.
Having made some ornaments,
he contacted some customers who gladly bought the unusual work. To
continue further, Fawaz Gruosi had to take the risk and enter into an
agreement with South African miners on large consignment of black
diamonds (they simply refused to sell him smaller consignment). Fawaz
Gruosi did not lose: thanks to his ornaments, the value of black
diamonds increased sixteen times, and he even wrote a book about the
beauty of the stone. However, he did not stop there.
After
De Grisogono company had become popular in the jewellery market,
Fawaz Gruosi began to conquer new space and time, making exclusive
luxury watches. Like with the black diamonds, many did not believe this
business would succeed because the Swiss companies with a known name
and excellent quality had the most refined taste. However, his
associates were wrong again because in this case Fawaz Gruosi expected
a quick takeoff. The watches, Instrumento No Unok with two dials
released in 2000 carried an unforgettable impression in the world of
luxury as well as the Instrumento Doppiok with already three dials and
two separate watch mechanisms, which was released two years later.
Five
years after the company's first set of watches, De Grisogono already
occupied a strong position among the famous watch companies.
Nevertheless, Fawaz Gruosi remained faithful to his principles,
surprising his associates. It was him who introduced black colouring of
the watch mechanism into fashion and manufactured the skin of a marine
clivus (galosh, better known as shagreen leather) while manufacturing
bracelets. Of course, the watches of De Grisogonok did not do without
the black diamonds that have become a symbol of the brand. Fawaz Gruosi
does not stop in his experiments: it was him who created an exclusive
mobile phone, decorated with 250 black diamonds, and a fully diamond
case, the Ice Cube, made specifically for Chopard watches. Now he has
been considering working with milky white diamonds, which are currently
not much used in jewellery.
Fawaz Gruosi is a role model for me, what this gentleman in so few years with his company deGrisogono has created and in this fiercely competitive luxury segment is without equal ...
Such entrepreneurs need the land!
I would like to have a conversation.
Esteem and respect!
Lingerie for women was just the plain underwear until the 20th century when it became the mean self-expression, as the subject of esthetic admiration. A piece of lingerie seen in between the women wear looked quite shocking to be shame and no one thought of designing luxury items based on lingerie, leaving alone works of art. Today every woman dreams of having a pair, or even more, of luxury and high quality lingerie to associate with sexuality, sensibility and attraction with male.
Today the knitwear is presented in so many styles and
it is so popular that no single autumn and spring collections can do without
hosiery. Knit
women's coats are offered in classic, sporty, romantic, vintage, casual and
ethnic styles. The demand for knit coats
grows in line with the more increasing range of color and texture of woolen
yarn as merino wool, angora, alpaca, Kashmir. Globally known brands launch knit
coats for women in their latest collections and most celebrities today appear
wearing knitwear for many occasions and that's hard to picture that some time
back it was something different.
First established in 1980, the brand by Carolina Herrera is one of the well-known fashion brands; collections by Carolina Herrera make a conquest for the public love and demand due to elegance and delicacy of the fashion wear models. The collections were successful, though Carolina Herrera opened its perfume line first in 1988 presenting Carolina Herrera for Women. Carolina Herrera 212 is known to be the bestseller first launched in 1997, and today this fragrance takes its niche among the most recognized perfumes of the world.
First established in 1860, Chopard is one of the reputed watch and jewelry houses producing incredibly beautiful, fascinating jewelry items and watches of dream. The house also launched a number of celebrated fragrances as Casmir, Wish, Madness and Infiniment. Despite the long and solid history of the brand, it appeared only recently in the market of fragrances with the first fragrance Chopard launched only in 1992. Six years later, in 1996, the Chopard House presented its Mira-Bai, the fragrance which is still in favor among women keen on oriental scents. Mira-Bai shows no intentions to compete with such a fashion-setter in the sphere of oriental compositions as Guerlain Shalimar, though the fragrance by Chopard takes its niche among the classic perfumes in the market of oriental perfume.
