From 1960 to the present day

Recognising your Graff piece

Founded in London in 1960 by Laurence Graff, the house follows the diamond from the rough to the shop: it buys it, cuts it and polishes it itself. These are the lines one recognises.

Butterfly

A butterfly set with diamonds, in classic, silhouette or pavé version: a house motif since the 1970s.

Icon

A halo of pavé diamonds around a centre stone — round, pear, oval, heart or emerald cut; the name comes from a diamond of 90.97 carats cut by the house in 2000.

Spiral

Loops of pavé winding on themselves, in rose, white or yellow gold; half-set bangles made to be worn together.

Tilda's Bow

A ribbon bow paved with diamonds, inspired by the bond between Laurence Graff and his granddaughter.

Threads

A trellis of pavé in free geometry; in high jewellery, with yellow diamonds or sapphires.

Laurence Graff Signature

Faceted, angular gold, plain or paved, each piece cut from a single block of gold.

Engagement rings

Promise, whose shoulder stones are matched by a member of the Graff family; Constellation, with a single or double halo; Flame, Paragon, Legacy, with paved or tapered bands.

Watches

Made in Geneva, jewellery or complicated: MasterGraff, GraffStar, Graff Leaf, and the Butterfly, Spiral or Tilda's Bow watches.

And all the others

Classic Graff, Icon 8, Kiss, Wild Flower, yellow diamonds, sapphires, rubies, emeralds… With no model name, a Graff piece is recognised by its signature, its number, its hallmarks and its workmanship.

Appraisal

What gives a Graff piece its value

We look at these six points in front of you, then we make a firm offer.

The centre stone

Weight, colour, clarity, quality of the cut: for a Graff ring, this is the essential. We weigh it and read it in front of you.

The logo and the signature

The Graff logo laser-inscribed on many diamonds, the signature and the number on the jewel.

Metal and mount

Platinum or 18-carat gold; pavé, halo, shoulders: the workmanship counts.

Coloured stones

Yellow diamonds, sapphires, rubies, emeralds: quality and origin are read on the piece.

Condition

A worn claw, an incomplete pavé do not prevent a sale; we value the piece as it is.

Papers and box

They add value to the piece, without being essential.

Frequently asked questions

Selling Graff jewellery

What makes the value of a Graff jewel?

The quality of the diamonds — cut, colour, clarity — and their certificates; we examine them on the spot, in front of you.

Is the Graff certificate or box necessary?

No. The certificate, the box and the original invoice add value to the piece but are not essential: we carry out the examination on site, in front of you.

How can I find out what my piece is worth?

Bring it by appointment, in London or Paris, or send us photographs: a first opinion within 24 hours, complimentary.

How do I recognise a Graff diamond?

Many Graff diamonds carry the house's logo, laser-inscribed: invisible to the naked eye, it is read with a loupe. The jewel itself is signed “Graff” and numbered. Everything is verified in-house, in front of you.

Do you buy Graff engagement rings?

Yes: Promise, Icon, Constellation, Legacy, Laurence Graff Signature, with or without a box. The centre stone makes most of the value; we examine it in front of you, then we make a firm offer.

How much is a Graff ring worth?

Most of it rests on the centre stone — weight, colour, clarity, cut —, then on the mount and the condition. We do not give a figure without having seen the ring: we examine it in front of you, then we make a firm offer.

Do you buy a Graff diamond alone, without its mount?

Yes. A Graff diamond often carries the house's logo, laser-inscribed; we examine it, weigh it and make you a firm offer.

Do you buy Graff watches?

Yes, jewellery or complicated, with or without papers.

Can I sell a Graff piece in London?

Yes — a few minutes from New Bond Street. The house receives in London by appointment at 100 Hatton Garden, EC1N 8NX; write first by WhatsApp or e-mail with photographs, and the appointment is fixed around the house's visits.

Is payment immediate?

Yes. Once agreement is reached, payment is made the same day, by bank transfer, whatever the amount — with no fees or commission.
