George Hakim, the grandson, became the third generation of jewelers to join the business. A few years later, serving in his father and grandfather’s footsteps, George turned to Europe in search of new sources of unique gemstones. With passion and ambition, he travelled the world and acquired some of the best gemstones in China, India and Africa to create his masterpieces. In spite of the hardships of the civil war that ravaged Beirut from 1975 to the late 80s, George’s dedication and perseverance allowed him to maintain and grow his business.
