De Grisogono is a Swiss luxury jeweller. It was founded in Geneva, Switzerland, in 1993 by black diamond specialist Fawaz Gruosi.[1] an Italian of Lebanese origin.


The Italian name Grisogono derives from Latin Chrysogonus, itself coming from Greek Chrysogonos χρῡσό-γονος, which means "begotten of gold".



Overview


In 2017, De Grisogono entered into a new partnership with former Leviev executives David and Lisa Klein.[2][3]


Creation I, a necklace by de Grisogono, was sold for nearly Dh125 million, in 2017's Christie's sale.[4][5]


In 2017 the company set a new record at Christie's Magnificent Jewels sale in Geneva when it sold the world's biggest-ever emerald cut diamond offered at auction. The 163.41-carat D Flawless stone, which was cut from a 404 carat rough, was incorporated into a necklace designed by Fawaz Gruosi. It fetched 33.5 million Swiss francs, beating the previous record for a D Flawless diamond by nearly five million Swiss francs.[6]

The Siemens ES64U4, is the current confirmed holder as the fastest electric locomotive at 357 km/h (222 mph) in 2006. An electric locomotive is a locomotive powered by electricity from overhead lines, a third rail or on-board energy storage such as a battery or a supercapacitor. Electric locomotives with on-board fueled prime movers, such as diesel engines or gas turbines, are classed as diesel-electric or gas turbine-electric and not as electric locomotives, because the electric generator/motor combination serves only as a power transmission system. Electric locomotives benefit from the high efficiency of electric motors, often above 90% (not including the inefficiency of generating the electricity). Additional efficiency can be gained from regenerative braking, which allows kinetic energy to be recovered during braking to put power back on the line. Newer electric locomotives ...
