Operating at the very pinnacle of the industry Graff cuts and polishes many thousands of carats diamonds each month, including a number of large and extremely rare stones. When crafting a heart shaped stone, the skill and expression of the cutter plays an important role due to the variety of possible proportions which are a vital consideration for this cut.An example of this is The Graff Sweethearts, which were crafted from two incredible rough diamonds weighing 196cts and 184cts, a process that took several months and many thousands of hours at the benchEach rough stone required the meticulous attention to detail and artistry of Graff's master cutter to ensure the two heart shaped stones were developed in unison as a matching pair.Through this process, Graff Diamonds set an unsurpassed standard of excellence in the world of high jewellery.Graff Diamonds has an historical association with heart shaped stones, when in 1982 Laurence Graff OBE, Founder and Chairman of Graff Diamonds acquired Le Grand and Petit Coeur d'Afrique (70.03cts and 25.22cts respectively) followed by The Morning Star, The Star of Lesotho and The Lesotho Promise to name just a few.
