Catalogue Essay
‘If you want to be successful with diamonds, you have to get as close to them as possible.’ This sums up the tenet of Graff Diamonds, based on which chairman Laurence Graff built his vertically integrated jewellery empire with an esteemed reputation for offering the best diamonds in the world. Among the many daring endeavours he was famous for in the industry, Graff was also one of the first jewellers to acknowledge the potential and beauty of yellow diamonds and deemed them worthy material for high jewellery, so much so that at some point in the 80’s to 90’s, fancy yellow diamonds are referred to as ‘Graff diamonds’. Nowadays, with stakes in Safdico and Letseng, and a diamond technology park in Botswana, Graff has access to the diamond rough of the finest quality first-hand, which their best specialist diamond cutters fashion to precise specifications like this one being offered. This Fancy Yellow diamond scintillates with Graff’s distinctive golden warmth, evoking a sense of modernity and youthfulness.
