Fred -

Origins

Fred Samuel's destiny was adorned with diamonds, pearls, and colorful stones, born into a family immersed in precious stones in Argentina in 1908. Renowned for his expertise in cultured pearls, he gained acclaim for the 'FRED-colored' creamy-pink shade. In the 1950s, he showcased his creativity by crafting jewelry for the Nepalese king and queen, inspired by the vibrant hues of court saris. Samuel's work was influenced by the sunlight of his Argentine childhood and his love for the sea, becoming enduring themes in Maison FRED's history.

In 1936, self-described as a 'Contemporary Creative Jeweler,' Samuel asserted his commitment to modernity through striking jewelry, characterized by rounded and curved outlines.
