Graff’s clients are Kings and Queens, Presidents and Prime Ministers, Oligarchs and Taipans. For them he creates jewels of extraordinary vivacity and lightness which move and shimmer with the wearer. This beautifully illustrated book contains much archive material on the historic stones which are Graff’s raw material as well as dazzling pictures of Graff jewels and those who wear them.
