Graff Lesedi La Rona
Lawrence Graff has unveiled the 67 polished stones it cut from the 1,109-carat Lesedi La Rona, including a record-breaking 302-carat diamond. The jeweler has named the square emerald-cut, 302.37-carat, D-color diamond the Graff Lesedi La Rona. It has yet to receive final certification for the stone, but expects a very high clarity grading. If it turns out to be flawless, it would be the largest D-flawless the Gemological Institute of America (GIA) has graded. It’s also the largest of its shape in history, according to the company. The entire process, from discovery through the cutting and polishing stages, took more than 18 months. Cutting a diamond of this size is an art form, the ultimate art of sculpture. It is the riskiest form of art, because one can never add and one can never cover up a mistake, one can only take away. The cutter have to be careful, and he must be perfect. Hats off to Lawrence Graff. He will be the King of Diamonds for a very long time.

Lawrence Graff's Diamond Collection
Luxury jeweler Graff is preparing to cut and polish the exceptional 13.33-carat Lesotho Pink that sold for $8.8 million in February.
The company revealed this week that it bought the stone from Gem Diamonds at a tender in Antwerp. At $656,933 per carat, the sale was the highest average price for any rough diamond recovered at the Letšeng mine in Lesotho, Gem Diamonds said last week without saying who the buyer was.
The purchase comes amid a depletion of the world’s pink-diamond resources, as the mines that produce them become extinct, Graff explained.
“This is the most vivid pink rough diamond I have ever seen, and it is an exceptionally rare treasure,” said Graff founder Laurence Graff. “I am sure the polished diamond that comes from this rough will be an auspicious addition to our roll call of famous gems.” Many thanks to Rapaport.
