Since its beginnings, the Maison FRED has created jewelry meant to be lived with : free-spirited creations full of wonders.

Collaborations were a fruit of his Fred Samuel own artistic sensibilities and fostered by encounters throughout his whole life.

Jean Cocteau created the “The Hidden Faces” medallion for a necklace in 1962, as well as the “The Woman and The Rose” brooch and a jewelry collection featuring the signs of the zodiac in 1971.

Leading names from the art world each delivered their own personal vision of jewelry, including Bernard Buffet in the same year, Georges Braque in 1972, Miroslav Brozek in 1979, and Arman in 2004, among many others.


For its advertising campaigns and events, the Maison also gave free rein to renowned artists such as Pierre and Gilles, Razzia, Liu Bolin, and, more recently, Vincent Darré.


Fantasy and creative freedom, pursued with passion.
