The Making Of
GRAFFABULOUS EMERALD AND DIAMOND NECKLACE
From gouache painting to flawlessly crafted finished piece, discover the different stages in the creation of one of the stand-out jewels from Graffabulous.
An Artist’s Eye
In the past, it is more likely that these richly coloured emerald beads would have been concentrated together. Instead, Graff’s designers chose to experiment with the beads, alternating them with clusters of diamonds to frame an intricate centre motif.
Natural Beauty
Emerald beads present a very different way of working when compared to faceted stones. The process is much more intuitive and relies on the mounter’s experience at the bench and how the beads feel in the hand.
