Graff: An Empire Built At The Heart Of The Diamond
Published on 16 October 2024
“I have always been fascinated by diamonds; I truly believe that working with diamonds is what I was born to do.” – Laurence Graff.
Laurence Graff’s journey of transformation is like that of the diamond, starting from simple beginnings working under immense pressure to create and preserve something beautiful and one of a kind.
An intense passion for Jewellery started as a humble apprentice at age 15 in Hatton Garden, London’s Jewellery sector and transformed into a 50-year family legacy of passion and perfection.
Graff took the grand step to showcase his entrepreneurial flair and founded his first company at the age of 18, partnering with an experienced jeweler. Graff met a diamond dealer early on whom he sourced 33 small diamonds from. Taking a leap outside normal design traditionals, Graff placed all on one ring creating a large synergy of diamonds, selling the ring to a jeweller which sold within days and demand started.
For over half a century the house of Graff has represented some of the rarest gemstones in the world passing through generations of the Graff family who have joined the journey, personally selecting every stone – presiding over each step of the diamond’s journey. Only perfection matters, born from passion.
