See Graff’s New High Jewelry Creations
The jewels are inspired by modern architecture with a focus on the play of light and movement.
Graff’s 25 new high jewelry pieces turn diamonds, gemstones, and precious metals into wearable architectural art forms, said Graff Design Director Anne-Eva Geffroy.
Paris—Graff presented new high jewelry creations during Paris’ Haute Couture Week last month.
The 25 new pieces, described as “a study of movement and light,” feature silhouettes reminiscent of modernist architecture, as the brand took inspiration from the play of light in avant-garde architectural movements.
“Graff high jewelry creations combine rare diamonds, gemstones, and precious metals, transforming them into wearable architectural art forms with vision and expertise,” said Anne-Eva Geffroy, the design director at Graff.
“Each jewelry piece is created to be an extension of the body, while they may appear to be structured and defined, they are designed and crafted to work in harmony with the wearer so that they feel flexible, light, and wearable, while amplifying the beauty and magic of each stone.”
The new jewels feature uniquely cut gemstones, pieces that emulate the circular outlines often found in modern architecture, and designs that create the illusion of floating gemstones.
