Seven writers present the multi-faceted life of Laurence Graff, who founded the Graff diamond house at the tender age of 22 years, fifty-five years ago. \u00a0He worked as an apprentice from a young age, becoming a self-taught gemologist, and was particularly interested in diamonds. He has sold some of the most famous diamonds in the world, as well as ‘one-of-a-kind statement pieces<\/em>‘. His ‘decisive nerves of steel<\/em>‘ plus love for \"Laurence<\/a>diamonds has created an empire of close to 40 Graff outlets around the world, including one at Delaire Graff in Stellenbosch, the wine estate owned by Mr Graff. His business and personal philosophy is ‘The sky’s the limit’<\/em>.<\/p>\n

The book contains photographs of the exquisite jewelery for which Graff is known, including the famed 118 carat Delaire\u00a0Sunrise diamond, and will be a delight for lovers of fine jewellery.<\/p>\n
