Sixty-five years ago, a young apprentice in London’s Hatton Garden began a journey that would redefine the world of high jewellery. Today, that legacy lives on as Graff, the family-owned maison founded by Laurence Graff in 1960, celebrates a milestone anniversary with a spectacular global exhibition tour.
The house’s story is one of vision, daring, and an unparalleled eye for hidden brilliance. From transforming rough stones into record-breaking masterpieces to unveiling some of the world’s most flawless gems, Graff has set benchmarks in craftsmanship. Its history is marked by legendary acquisitions and creations — from the 47.39-carat Star of Bombay and the majestic Lesotho Promise necklace, to treasures like the 102.79-carat Graff Constellation, the Graff Pink, and the monumental 302.37-carat Lesedi La Rona.
At the centre of the anniversary celebration stands the Graff Infinity Tiara, crowned with a 157.80-carat heart-shaped Infinity Diamond. Cut from a 373-carat rough discovered in Botswana, the stone reveals a striking connection to the historic Lesedi La Rona, reinforcing Graff’s reputation for uncovering and shaping the world’s rarest diamonds. The tiara itself, adorned with heart-shaped diamonds suspended in sculptural loops, captures the house’s guiding principle: let the stone dictate the design.
The exhibition opens in Shanghai from 13–21 September, travels to Singapore in October, and reaches Hong Kong in early November. Visitors will discover not only Graff’s most celebrated jewels but also the artistry behind them — the meticulous sourcing, cutting, polishing, and setting carried out by generations of master craftsmen.
Today, under the leadership of François and Elliott Graff, the maison continues to grow with over 70 boutiques worldwide, from London and Paris to Las Vegas. The anniversary is more than a celebration of the past — it is a reaffirmation of Graff’s pursuit of perfection, guided by Laurence Graff’s enduring belief: the best stones, shaped by the best hands, yield designs without equal.
