"Alongside our artisans, we are driven by a passion for excellence, meticulously designing, sculpting, and polishing our jewels until they are flawless, both front and back." Fred Samuel, FRED press release, 1986
For 90 years, FRED has placed paramount importance on the essence of jewelry, combining technical skill, style, and exceptional gems, such as the famous Soleil d’Or, a dazzling yellow diamond of over 100 carats distinguished by its exceptional color, cut, remarkable purity and radiant brilliance.
Presented in 1977 with Margaux Hemingway, this extraordinary stone became an enduring icon of the Maison. This expertly crafted natural treasure reflects Maison FRED's unique vision of light and its pursuit of exceptional stones. Its remarkable radiance and unmistakable glow led the Maison to name it the Soleil d’Or, a fitting tribute from the Sunshine Jeweler.
Returned to the Maison’s heritage collection in 2021, this exquisite jewel has inspired some of Maison’s most beautiful stories, including the Soleil d’Or Sunrise collection, unveiled in 2025.
Fantasy and creative freedom, pursued with passion.
