About Graff Purchase
Leave it to us to purchase your Graff jewelry! Ever since Lawrence Graff founded the company in 1960, “Graff jewelry” has grown to captivate the hearts of a generation of celebrities worldwide. This is due to multiple factors, including their collection of rare, large diamonds, as well as their exquisitely designed and crafted jewelry pieces. With their iron policy of only dealing with diamonds with 1 carat and above, they have garnered the support of connoisseurs. Even though the undisputed top 5 traditional jewelers in the world are Harry Winston, Tiffany & Co., Bvlgari, Cartier and Van Cleef & Arpels, yet Graff can be said to be the King of Diamonds of the 21st century, and is a brand known across the world for having the finest large diamonds.
Graff is named after its founder Lawrence Graff, a Russian Englishman born into a poor family. He began apprenticing at a jewelry workshop at the age of 15. With his excellent eye for diamonds, skill in crafting and repair, and acute business sense, he opened his own jewelry boutique in London when he was merely 24. This was the start of Graff. By 1966, he received international diamond awards and joined the ranks of the top jewelers in the world, selling large diamond pieces to the nobility and extremely wealthy.
Graff’s diamonds are rare in their large size, thanks to a new gemstone business with an integrated process from ore harvesting, polishing, setting, to wholesale and retail. In spite of its rapid growth, it remains as a brand that maintains close control over its management, with a founder that remains active on the front lines of the business, which is rare in the jewelry industry. In addition, the brand is also known for its variety of fancy-colored diamonds. Jewel Cafe is on a campaign to strengthen our purchasing of Graff jewelry. We are not only actively looking to purchase items that are in good condition, but also pieces that are outdated, do not have certification, or have scratches etc., so you are most welcome to bring them in for appraisal.
