Originally from Buenos Aires, Fred imbued his designs with the energy of South America, saying “my creations are inspired by the life, the light, the movement, the energy.” His passion for life and light is expressed in his jewellery through the use of coloured gemstones and playful motifs. Fred’s success as a jewellery designer is attested to by the clients for whom he worked. For example, he supplied jewellery to the royal family of Monaco, including Princess Grace, and more famously, he designed the iconic 23 heart-cut ruby necklace interlaced with diamonds, which was gifted to Julia Roberts by Richard Gere in the film PrettyWoman.
