The Graff “1963” high jewellery suite, set with 7,790 diamonds weighing over 129 carats.

Design Inspiration

The collection takes its name from 1963, a year synonymous with bold fashion and cultural change. Graff reimagines the spirit of the era through dramatic proportions, intricate pavé settings, and hidden details that reward a closer look.
Key Gems and Materials

Central diamond: 129-carat oval brilliant, exceptional in both size and clarity.

Emerald accents: Over 1,000 pavé-set emeralds are discreetly integrated into the design, creating a secret shimmer of green fire beneath the surface.

Additional gems: White diamonds frame and enhance the centerpiece, adding contrast and brilliance.

Craftsmanship

More than 1,200 hours of artisan work went into creating the set, combining advanced stone-setting techniques with Graff’s signature attention to detail. The concealed emerald pavé is a technical feat, visible only upon close examination, showcasing the maison’s commitment to hidden luxury.

The Legacy of 1963

For Graff, referencing 1963 is a nod to a pivotal decade that shaped modern jewelry. It was an era of daring design, cultural icons, and a new sense of global luxury. This collection bridges that legacy with the craftsmanship standards of today.
Graff’s 1963 High Jewellery Set is more than a display of carat weight. It reflects the maison’s design philosophy: jewels that balance spectacle with subtlety. By embedding hidden pavé work, Graff captures both the exuberance of the 1960s and a contemporary desire for pieces that reveal secrets over time.
