Graff is involved in every stage of the jewellery making process — from the sourcing of each rough stone through to the cutting, polishing, and final setting of each exquisite jewel.

Throughout its rich history, Graff is said to have handled more diamonds of rarity, magnitude, and distinction than any other jeweller.
