The extraordinary destiny of Fred Samuel and his jewellery brand.
The story of the brand Fred is closely intertwined with the story of the founder of the company of the same name. Born in Argentina and with a passion for cultured pearls from a very young age, he became one of the leading specialists in the field. He was also interested in colour and light, which proved to be a common theme in his designs. The brand Fred was officially launched in Paris in 1936 and success was instantaneous, especially among his numerous socialite acquaintances in the city. Fred became supplier to princesses, especially Monaco's royal family. Fred Samuel rapidly built up a reputation for himself but it was the Japanese cultured pearls and their rare nature which would really establish the brand as a serious contender on the market. In 1996, the House was taken over by the LVMH group. It was the turn of Dominique Watine-Arnault to take over at the helm and perpetuate the traditions and aesthetics so dear to Fred. Ever since the label was created, it has been helping integrate luxury and jewellery into our daily lives and make both more accessible.
An infinitely accessible and yet infinitely refined line.
Fred's beautiful accessories and jewels make women look stunning. They are the bright, colourful touches which can lend a wealth of originality to an existing outfit. With successive collections of jewellery, Fred conveys a passion for colour, along with a fascination for the ocean and its power. Force 10 bracelets are among the most emblematic the House has ever produced - pure symbols of audacity and freedom. The brand's necklaces, ring and bracelets are visual representations of the unique sense of aesthetics of the company's founder. Predominantly in steel, white and yellow gold, the pieces are very graphic.
