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.![Craftsman creating Emerald and Diamond Graff High Jewellery Necklace](https://www.graff.com/dw/image/v2/BFNT_PRD/on/demandware.static/-/Library-Sites-GraffSharedLibrary/default/dwcb50b7ad/images/Graffabulous%202022/Chapter_5/3_Craft_mobile.jpg)
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.![Graff emerald and white diamond high jewellery necklace](https://www.graff.com/dw/image/v2/BFNT_PRD/on/demandware.static/-/Library-Sites-GraffSharedLibrary/default/dwbb20f92b/images/Graffabulous%202022/Chapter_5/4_Craft_Mobile.jpg)
