Graff’s 129-ct Psychedelic Tribute to 1963

Graff has unveiled a high jewelry suite – a necklace, bracelet, and earrings – crafted from 7,790 diamonds, with a total weight of 129 carats.

It is called 1963 and went on display last week at Paris Haute Couture Week.

It is described as a “bold tribute to the decade in which the House of Graff was founded” (although Graff’s own website says it was actually founded in 1960).

The pieces showcase concentric oval patterns of oval, baguette, and round stones, recalling the psychedelic art and fashion of the decade.

“This is one of the most intricate and technically challenging high jewellery suites we have ever created, embodying our pursuit of absolute beauty and perfection,” said Francois Graff, CEO of Graff Diamonds and son of Laurence (now retired, aged 87).
