Laurence Graff, the founder and chairman of Graff, has in the past been nicknamed the King of Diamonds. Last autumn, Graff gave new meaning to his sparkling sobriquet by successfully purchasing the Lesedi La Rona rough diamond, in a deal valued at $53 million.
Now, a little over one year post Graff acquiring the stone, the diamantaire is debuting the first analysed, cut and polished stones hewn from the raw diamond, ranging in size from just shy of one carat to over 100 carats. All stones will be certified by the Gemological Institute of America, with their colour graded the highest top D.
