An artistic and truly striking expression of modernity that captures the precious moments and memories we share with loved ones, Graff’s ‘Threads’ collection celebrates the powerful connections between us all.
Graff recently unveiled new high jewellery creations in the ‘Threads' collection that celebrate exceptional coloured stones. Showcasing vibrant yellow diamonds, sapphires and emeralds that pierce the criss-crossing webs of white diamonds with vivid colour, the new jewels trailblaze a bold new look for this graphic collection.
Inspired by the hyperconnectivity of our modern world, the ‘Threads' motif symbolises the many connections that define our lives, from flight paths that criss-cross the sky to the messages and moments we share with friends and loved ones.
Featuring cool lattices of pure brilliance, each spontaneous, geometric thread is inextricably linked to the next, Sapphires and emeralds adorn two new suites of jewels comprising high jewellery necklaces, bracelets, drop earrings and stud earrings, alongside a dramatic pair of yellow diamond earrings. Set within spontaneous geometric threads, the abstract design of each jewel celebrates how stories are spun in a modern, ever-connected world, and the powerful connections made between our lives and loved ones.
The linear shape of the coloured stones - emerald cut sapphires and emeralds, and cushion cut yellow diamonds - mirrors the geometric lines of the diamond threads, with each gem set at a seemingly random angle. This sense of spontaneity belies the complex, carefully orchestrated construction of the designs, with each jewel featuring myriad diamond bars that overlap and cross, while at the same time displaying a beautiful, subtle articulation.
Set among flashes of bright white diamond fire, the extraordinary hue of the sapphires and emeralds is amplified - among them magnificent Colombian emeralds and Royal Blue sapphires that are breathtaking in their intensity. Each personally selected by a member of the Graff family for their depth of colour, excellent clarity and even saturation, together they represent the very best of the gemstone world.
"In the new ‘Threads' high jewellery pieces, the gemstones represent milestones in our lives - the precious moments, meetings and occasions that change the course of fate forever," says Anne-Eva Geffroy, Design Director at Graff. "They bring colour to our lives, and the world, which is reflected in the vibrant yellow diamonds, sapphires and emeralds."
One of Graff 's permanent collections, ‘Threads' continues to grow and expand with the addition of new designs that interpret the theme's aesthetic in new and exciting ways. The collection also includes petite and playful creations that translate the exquisite criss-crossing design in a range of accessible, everyday diamond jewels. Exquisite gifts or symbolic tokens of affection, minimalist strands of diamonds converge upon bracelets, necklaces and rings, echo the invisible bondsthat link us all.
