💡Luxury Tidbit 💡

Did You Know? “Graff Yellow” is also popularly known as the "Golden Star."?

It is truly one of the most magnificent gems ever used in luxury jewellery.

Found in South Africa, this diamond has a rich history along with some unique properties that make it unique among most of the famous diamonds.

Extraordinary Size and Quality:

In its rough form, the Graff Yellow Diamond weighed an incredible 221.55 carats. It was then brilliantly cut and polished into a 132.55-carat fancy intense yellow diamond, a respected accommodation considering that a great deal of weight is lost during the cutting process.
This makes its vivid yellow colour very rare and classifies it as being among the finest yellow diamonds ever found.
Its extraordinary size and quality make it certainly one of the stars in Graff's illustrious collection.

The Cutting Process:

It took the processing of that rough diamond into this exquisite gem today to be intricate and extremely skillful.
Graff Diamonds founder Laurence Graff assigned it to the trusted hands of his master cutters and polishers.
They worked with extraordinary finesse to improve on the natural sparkle and colour, ironically taking months to get that final cut done so it would maximise the intrinsic beauty of the diamond.
At each and every cut, the arduous process brought intrinsic beauty to the fore and turned it into its most dazzling, fiery look ever.

Historical Significance:

Perhaps more than being a natural wonder, Graff Yellow is imbued with historical value. Its discovery, processing, and eventual polishing demonstrate the technological development used for cutting diamonds and the expertise needed to handle such a rare stone.
The career the diamond has had—from a rough stone to an incredibly polished masterpiece—has given meaning to change in the industry of diamonds and strengthened the continuing appeal of fancy coloured diamonds.

Display and ownership:

Since its launch, the Graff Yellow has been displayed at various exclusive events and exhibitions, where the gem has stunned audiences with its brilliance. It has been mounted on some exquisite pieces of jewellery, each enshrined to bring out its brilliance and colour.
Laurence Graff has frequently paraded the diamond at international events, thus reaffirming his brand's reputation for handling some of the finest gemstones around the world.

Cultural Impact:

Graff Yellow has also had a significant impact on popular culture and the luxury market.
Its prominence inspired many other jewellers and designers, noticing the potential use of coloured diamonds as influential in widening appreciation for such rare stones.
Besides, it has been featured in different media, underscoring the passion and longing that extraordinary diamonds can evoke.

In its colour, size, and history, it is a jewel that mediates the luxuriance and excellence of high jewellery.
From a rough stone to a celebrated gem, its journey remained symbolic of the sublime artistic genius and craftsmanship associated with Graff Diamonds—that makes it the greatest treasure ever seen in gemology.
