Mouawad:
Mouawad, a name well known to Europeans for haute joaillierie, is as celebrated for its extensive collection of unique diamonds as its cutting-edge design and retail philosophy. Founded in 1890 by master watchmaker and family patriarch David Mouawad, the company supplied important jewels to many European royal houses and wealthy individuals. Today Mouawad continues that tradition in a modern way by adorning the necks, ears and wrists of today's "royalty" -- supermodels, singers, actresses and women of style from across the globe. Some of the famous faces that have been seen donning Mouawad include Kylie Minogue, Britney Spears, Liz Hurley and Elizabeth Taylor, just to name a few.
