Henkel and Grosse
Henkel & Grosse is a German jewelry manufacturer known for its high-quality costume jewelry. The company was founded in 1907 by Heinrich Henkel and Florentin Grosse, who began producing jewelry in their small workshop in Pforzheim, Germany.
Henkel & Grosse quickly gained a reputation for its innovative designs and meticulous craftsmanship, and the company's jewelry became increasingly popular in Europe and beyond. During the 1920s and 1930s, the company became known for its Art Deco-inspired designs, which featured geometric shapes and bold, colorful gemstones.
After World War II, Henkel & Grosse began to focus on producing high-quality costume jewelry using innovative manufacturing techniques. The company pioneered the use of electroplating, which allowed for the production of jewelry with a high-quality gold or silver finish at a fraction of the cost of solid gold or silver.
Henkel & Grosse has collaborated with many famous fashion houses over the years, including Christian Dior, Givenchy, and Yves Saint Laurent. The company has also won numerous awards for its innovative designs, including the prestigious Red Dot Design Award.
