The Graff Master Craftsman spends many hundreds of hours working to create a single highly sculptural jewel. One of the most recent creations is this intricate white and yellow gold cuff encrusted with 817 handset white and vivid yellow diamonds.

When one sees something as stunning as this, the first question that springs to mind is how this beauty was born? Here is the story… Graff cuff began as a vision, before being brought to life through beautifully hand drawn sketches by Graff’s in-house team of designers. The finest quality brilliant and cushion cut yellow (15 stones totalling 49.63 cts) and white diamonds (802 stones totalling 11.24 cts) were then chosen. Once selected, the intricate work of creating the gold settings began, followed by the careful setting of stones, a meticulous process that requires the expertise of a skilfully trained eye and a steady hand. Polishing occurred multiple times throughout. The whole process took several months of intense work and now the finished piece is revealed, dazzling spectacularly and mesmerizing us with its beauty and sparkle. Let us welcome this state-of-the-art jewel.
