Andrew Grima was one of the most innovative jewellery designers of the 20th century, celebrated for his sculptural, avant-garde pieces that broke with tradition and redefined luxury design. If you’re looking to sell Grima jewellery, you’ve come to the right place. Dawsons’ specialist team has the expertise to accurately value and market Grima’s highly collectable creations to a global audience of discerning buyers.
The value of Grima jewellery depends on several factors — including the design, rarity, materials, and provenance. Because Grima created so many one-off pieces, values can vary widely. However, his jewellery consistently performs well at auction, with particularly striking or unusual pieces often fetching exceptional prices.
Our jewellery specialists will provide a free, accurate valuation with no obligation to sell.
Grima’s jewellery is prized not just for its craftsmanship, but for its artistic significance. His work often features raw, uncut gemstones, organic forms, and textured gold — pushing the boundaries of design at the time. Because of this, his pieces are considered wearable art and are particularly sought after by collectors and design connoisseurs.
Items created during his collaboration with Omega and those commissioned for royalty or celebrities can attract strong interest at auction.

Read genuine reviews below from sellers who entrusted us with their Grima jewellery.
Yes — Andrew Grima’s pieces are highly collectable, especially with mid-century design lovers and collectors of signed jewellery. His reputation as one of Britain’s most visionary jewellers ensures continued demand.
Many pieces are signed simply “Grima.” If you’re unsure, send us clear photos and a description — our experts are highly experienced in identifying his work.
No problem at all. We regularly work with clients who have inherited designer jewellery. We’ll help you identify, value, and—if you wish—sell your item with confidence.
While original boxes, receipts, or provenance documents can enhance value, they are not essential. Many Grima pieces are highly collectible on design merit alone. We’ll still be able to provide a full valuation and successfully market the piece to potential buyers.
While Grima jewellery performs well year-round, our specialist Fine Jewellery sales—typically held in spring and autumn—tend to attract the highest number of serious buyers. Our team can advise on the optimal timing to ensure your piece receives maximum exposure and the best possible result.
Grima jewellery is celebrated for its bold sculptural forms, rich textures, and uncompromising originality. Designed by Andrew Grima, often described as the father of modern jewellery, these pieces marked a decisive break from traditional diamond-led design in the mid-20th century.
Working primarily in textured gold, Grima favoured organic surfaces, asymmetric forms, and vibrant coloured gemstones such as aquamarine, citrine, peridot, and tourmaline. His jewellery was never about symmetry or convention — instead, each piece was conceived as a miniature work of art, with stones appearing embedded within the gold rather than formally set.
Collectors particularly value Grima’s 1960s and 1970s creations, including rings, bracelets, pendants, and brooches produced under the Andrew Grima London name. Pieces retailed through prestigious houses such as Boucheron and worn by royalty and cultural icons further enhance their desirability.
Today, Grima jewellery is highly sought after for its rarity, craftsmanship, and unmistakable aesthetic. Whether a statement ring or an intricately worked gold pendant, each piece reflects a period of extraordinary creativity in British jewellery design — making Grima works enduringly collectable at auction.
