The Story Behind: Originally known as Henkel & Grosse since 1907, the German company dropped the Henkel part of the name and then ‘French-ify’ the name further by adding an accent on the final e to é to Grossé. Well known for producing jewellery for Christian Dior, which they’ve done since the 1950s, Grossé has also produced their own line of jewellery since they opened in 1907. The Grossé aesthetic is simple and elegant with pieces plated in gold or rhodium and minimally adorned.

In 1918, after the end of World War I – Costume jewellery has become an important element to complete the new fashion. In tune with the times, Grossé introduced state-of-the-art modernist design, manufactures avant-garde costume jewellery that combined art and technology. This new design-driven costume jewellery received wide critical acclaim, drawing attention and interest from major houses, such as Lavin and Chanel. In 1930 Grossé produced floral jewels drew and drawn the attention of Elsa Schiaparelli (1890-1973), who was active as a representative designer in 1930, and Grossé produced a series of jewels for her, including a red flower necklaces and a fruit brooch. In 1937, at the Paris Exposition ‘Universelle des Arts et Techniques dans la Vie Moderne’, Grossé won the highest honour medal in both the technical and designing section of costume jewellery. Christian Dior launched “New Look” Collection in 1947. At the same time, Grossé’s jewellery was gaining in popularity among European jewellers as it’s quality is recognised to be as good as real jewellery but at a more affordable price, which gave inexpensive alternative to a new, larger clientele.

In 1955 Grossé started selling jewellery in Dior boutique, the success was great, and Christian Dior highly appreciated the quality of the work and concluded a partnership with Grossé in 1955 under his strong request.Over the next 50 years Grossé was responsible for the production of Christian Dior Bijoux and had the right to sell it and sent out numerous masterpieces to the world. Even in the history of Dior, such a long term license cooperation was unprecedented…
