If you’re considering selling a Grima ring, Dawsons offers specialist expertise in one of the most influential names in modern jewellery design. Rings by Andrew Grima are celebrated for their bold textures, architectural forms, and radical departure from traditional gemstone-led jewellery.
Often described as wearable sculpture, Grima rings appeal to collectors who value originality, craftsmanship, and confident design above convention.
Grima rejected symmetry and polish in favour of organic surfaces and sculpted goldwork. His rings are designed to feel elemental and expressive, with gemstones appearing embedded within the metal rather than formally set.
Collectors are particularly drawn to:
Heavily textured or bark-finish gold rings
Asymmetrical, sculptural forms
Rings set with aquamarine, citrine, peridot, tourmaline, or diamonds
1960s and 1970s designs with strong visual presence
Each ring reflects Grima’s belief that jewellery should be artistic, tactile, and unapologetically individual.
The value of a Grima ring is shaped by design period, originality, materials, gemstone quality, and condition, with visual impact often outweighing size or weight alone. Signed examples and rings that clearly embody Grima’s signature style are particularly sought after.
