A Brief History of Graff
Born near London in 1938, Laurence Graff left school at age 15 to become an apprentice at a jewelry store. While his initial experience of sweeping floors and cleaning toilets didn’t further his career, his perseverance paid off as he eventually learned the trade repairing rings and other pieces. By age 22, Graff had his own small jewelry business in London, but his big break came when he decided to travel to the Far East. In Singapore, he happened to meet the Crown Prince and Princess of Brunei (later the Sultan and Queen), and their patronage led the way for many other elite, ultra-rich clients.
Graff’s jewelry business has always been known for handling important diamonds, beginning with the acquisition of the Star of Bombay in 1974. Other famous stones that have passed through Graff’s house include the Grand Coeur d’Afrique, a seventy carat, heart-shaped flawless diamond, and The Empress Rose, a flawless, pink, pear-shaped diamond weighing just under 90 carats.
The Wittelsbach diamond, a stone of royalty since 1644, was famously repolished by Graff in 2008. The resulting stone was renamed the Wittlesbach-Graff, the largest internally flawless natural fancy deep blue diamond ever graded by the Gemological Institute of America.
We purchase diamond estate jewelry from most Graff collections, including Butterfly, Nuage, Bow, Snowfall, Carissa, Bombé, and Peony.
