THE PERFECT GIFT
by AHMED SEDDIQI & SONS
Graff is renowned for creating the world’s most beautiful heart shape diamonds and coloured gemstones. A personal favourite of founder Laurence Graff OBE, this romantic silhouette celebrates his endless love of diamonds.
‘Many years ago I decided to create heart shape diamond necklaces and it set a theme - we now make many special pieces featuring heart shape stones,’ says Laurence Graff; ‘It’s such a beautiful shape that tells of losing your heart, or winning a heart.’
Many of Graff’s unique jewels feature single magnificent heart shape diamonds, such as our single stone diamond rings – the ultimate romantic gesture for special occasions, such as an anniversary or a proposal.
Other styles include a signature Graff design, where scintillating central stones are embraced by a halo of heart shape diamonds.
A remarkable amount of skill is required to cut and polish heart shape diamonds, due to their perfect symmetry and intricate silhouette. Cutting the cleft of the heart is especially perilous, and requires great courage and skill. The Graff heart shape is perfectly balanced, featuring round, full-bodied contours that have been perfected over many years.
