Some fates are strewn with stars... Fred Samuel's was strewn with diamonds, pearls and multi-hued stones since his birth in 1908, in a family who traded in them in Argentina. The enigma of precious stones fueled his creativity from an early age, from the time the royal couple of Nepal asked him to create a collection to match the saris of the court in the 1950s. His inspiration came from shimmering, multicolored silks, which he reproduced with a palette of sapphires and diamonds.
