GRAFF UNVEILED ONE OF ITS MOST DRAMATIC HIGH JEWELLERY PIECES YET AT

COUTURE WEEK IN PARIS

The pendant section of the showstopper necklace is designed to appear as if the giant egg-shaped diamond is floating upon a diamond surround, with nothing visibly holding it in place. And suspended beneath the central stone, a layered fringe of oval and pear shaped diamonds adds drama and depth to the tribal design.

The contrasting, graphic design of the necklace – hand crafted at the Graff design studio in Mayfair, London – is certain to have caught the eye of high-end jewellery collectors and is the hero of this year’s Graff diamond collection.

The 50-carat diamond at the centre of this necklace was discovered in Lesotho, the source of most of the largest gem-quality diamonds found this century. It measures more than 30 x 20mm, and a stone of these rare proportions joins the unique collection of important diamonds that Graff has sourced during its 63-year history. graff.com ■
