Graff Bracelets
"Graff's first competition entry was a diamond bracelet. It won. Sixty-five years later, the house remains the most uncompromising diamond jeweler in the world — and its bracelets remain among the most extraordinary objects money can buy."
Pre-Owned Graff Bracelets For Sale
Laurence Graff founded his London diamond house in 1960 with a singular obsession: the finest diamonds in the world, handled with the precision and artistry they deserved. At twenty-two years old, having left school at fifteen to become a jeweller's apprentice, Graff began building what would become the most respected name in high jewelry diamond craftsmanship. In 1966, just six years after founding the house, a Graff ribbon bracelet entered into the De Beers Diamond International Awards Competition — and won. The result simultaneously earned the house's place at the table of the world's great jewelers and established the bracelet as a signature format for Graff's extraordinary stones and craftsmanship.
Today, Graff occupies a position in fine jewelry that no other house can match: a diamond company that controls every stage of its stones' journey, from sourcing rough diamonds through its Johannesburg cutting and polishing facility to the final piece created by master artisans at the house's London headquarters. Laurence Graff has personally handled more important gem-quality diamonds than any other dealer in history — the Begum Blue, the Emperor Maximilian, the Hope of Africa, the Idol's Eye — and that obsession with the finest stones is present in every bracelet the house produces. At Opulent Jewelers, every pre-owned Graff bracelet is individually authenticated before listing, backed by our full money-back authenticity guarantee and free domestic shipping.
Graff Bracelet Collections
Classic Graff Diamond Tennis Bracelets
The Classic Graff collection is the house's purest expression of its founding philosophy — extraordinary diamonds in settings designed to showcase them rather than compete with them. Graff diamond tennis bracelets from this collection feature an unbroken line of perfectly matched round brilliant-cut diamonds, each precisely set in minimal platinum or gold to allow maximum light to enter and exit the stone. The result is a continuous river of brilliance on the wrist that is immediately distinguishable from lesser tennis bracelets by the color, clarity, and matching quality of the stones. Graff's classic tennis bracelets have spent hundreds of hours at the hands of master artisans at the London headquarters — every diamond individually selected, every setting precisely formed, every element finished to the standard that has made the house's name synonymous with perfection. A pre-owned Classic Graff tennis bracelet is among the most compelling fine jewelry acquisitions on the secondary market.
Classic Graff Diamond Bangles
Graff diamond bangles from the Classic collection offer the same extraordinary stone quality as the house's tennis bracelets in a rigid, architectural format. The pavé diamond bangle — set with hundreds of precisely matched, individually set brilliant-cut diamonds across its entire surface — is a study in how a master diamond house approaches a format that other jewelers routinely produce with inferior stones and careless matching. A Graff pavé bangle in white gold is a piece that rewards close examination: the diamond quality, the consistency of size and color across hundreds of stones, and the flawlessness of the setting work are immediately apparent to anyone who knows what they are looking at. Pre-owned Graff diamond bangles represent exceptional value relative to the quality of stones and craftsmanship they contain.
Butterfly Collection Bracelets
The Butterfly collection is Graff's most celebrated nature-inspired design — a house icon that has appeared in bracelets, necklaces, earrings, and rings since its introduction, and which has become one of the most recognizable motifs in high jewelry. Butterfly bracelets feature the house's characteristic three-dimensional interpretation of the butterfly form — wings articulated with extraordinary diamond paving in round brilliants, fancy cuts, and colored stones, each piece engineered to capture light and movement simultaneously. Graff's Butterfly pieces have been worn by royalty and celebrated collectors worldwide, and their combination of technical mastery with genuine aesthetic beauty makes them among the most coveted pre-owned Graff pieces on the secondary market.
Tilda's Bow Collection Bracelets
Tilda's Bow is one of Graff's most elegant and enduring contemporary collections — a design inspired by the graceful loop of a ribbon bow, rendered in diamonds with the flowing three-dimensional craftsmanship that is the hallmark of Graff's London artisans. Tilda's Bow bracelets translate the collection's central design gesture into wrist jewelry of extraordinary delicacy and movement, with diamonds set to maximize the sense of flow and lightness despite the significant stone weight involved. A Tilda's Bow bracelet is a piece of wearable sculpture — one that carries both the technical achievement of its making and the genuine elegance of its design in equal measure.
Spiral Collection Bracelets
The Spiral collection channels Graff's mastery of three-dimensional diamond work into a format defined by rotational movement — spiraling forms in platinum and diamond that create pieces of remarkable depth and visual complexity from any angle. Spiral bracelets demonstrate the house's commitment to jewelry as engineering as much as adornment: the mathematical precision of the spiral form, executed in diamonds of exceptional quality, creates a bracelet that is simultaneously a display of geometric discipline and a cascade of brilliant light. Pre-owned Graff Spiral bracelets are particularly sought by collectors who want Graff's diamond quality in a design with genuine contemporary architectural presence.
Laurence Graff Signature Collection
The Laurence Graff Signature collection represents the house's most personal design statement — pieces bearing the founder's name and reflecting his direct creative vision for how the house's finest diamonds should be presented. Signature collection bracelets in platinum and white gold with pavé diamond setting reflect Graff's founding conviction that the finest stones deserve the most precise and uncompromising settings. The Laurence Graff Signature pavé diamond bangle is one of the most recognized pieces from this collection, and pre-owned examples represent a direct connection to the founder's vision for what Graff means.
Yellow Diamond and Fancy Color Bracelets
Graff has a longer and more distinguished history with fancy colored diamonds than virtually any other jewelry house — Laurence Graff's personal fascination with yellow, pink, blue, and other fancy colored stones is reflected throughout the house's archive and continues to define Graff's most significant high jewelry productions. Yellow diamond bracelets from Graff — featuring Fancy Yellow, Fancy Intense Yellow, and Fancy Vivid Yellow stones of extraordinary quality — represent a category where the house has no equal. Pink diamond Graff bracelets, including the house's celebrated pink pavé bangles featuring hundreds of perfectly matched pink diamonds, are among the rarest and most significant fine jewelry objects ever to appear on the secondary market. These are pieces whose stone quality and provenance make them genuinely irreplaceable.
Why Graff Bracelets Are the Finest in the World
The Graff difference begins before a bracelet design ever reaches an artisan's bench. Unlike most fine jewelry houses that purchase already-cut and polished diamonds from dealers, Graff operates its own cutting and polishing facility in Johannesburg — one of the largest in the world — allowing the house to control the transformation of rough diamonds into finished stones with a precision and consistency that external sourcing cannot replicate. Every diamond that enters a Graff bracelet has been cut specifically to Graff's standards, matched specifically to its companions in the piece, and verified at every stage of the process.
The production of each bracelet at Graff's London headquarters can consume hundreds of hours of artisan time — master craftsmen working with techniques that trace their lineage to centuries of European goldsmithing tradition, combined with the cutting-edge innovations of a house that has never accepted the limits of conventional production. The first Queen's Award to Industry and Export presented to a jeweler, awarded to Graff in 1973 with two further awards in 1977 and 1994, is a formal acknowledgment of a standard of excellence that buyers of pre-owned Graff bracelets inherit with every purchase.
How to Authenticate a Graff Bracelet
The Graff Signature
All authentic Graff bracelets are signed — engraved with "GRAFF" on the clasp, the inner surface of a bangle, or on a cartouche. The signature should be precisely and cleanly engraved, consistently formed, and clearly legible. On Graff tennis bracelets and link designs, the signature appears on the clasp box. On Graff bangles, the engraving is typically on the interior surface of the piece. Any signature that appears stamped rather than engraved, blurry, or inconsistently formed should be treated as a significant concern.
Metal Hallmarks and Purity
All authentic Graff bracelets bear the appropriate metal hallmarks — "750" for 18K gold, "950" or "PT950" for platinum — alongside the Graff signature. Graff works primarily in platinum and 18K white, yellow, and rose gold, and the weight and color of the metal should be consistent with its stated type. A piece stated to be platinum that feels light relative to its size is a significant concern — platinum is substantially heavier than gold and cannot be approximated convincingly.
Diamond Quality and Setting Precision
The surest indicator of Graff authenticity is the quality of the diamonds themselves. Graff uses stones of exceptional color and clarity — typically D-F color and VS or better clarity in production pieces — matched with a precision that produces perfectly uniform brilliance across the entire surface of a pavé bangle or the full length of a tennis bracelet. Under any light, Graff diamonds should produce exceptional, consistent sparkle. Any dullness, inconsistency of color, or variation in stone size across a pavé piece should be carefully examined. All stones must be completely secure with no movement.
Paperwork and Provenance
Graff produces detailed documentation for its jewelry — original certificates, boxes, and purchase records that confirm a piece's provenance and stone specifications. While many pre-owned Graff pieces are sold without their original documentation, its presence adds meaningful assurance of authenticity and in some cases increases resale value. For significant Graff bracelets with important colored diamonds or high stone weight, GIA certificates for individual stones are among the most valuable documentation a piece can carry.
Every Graff bracelet at Opulent Jewelers is individually authenticated before listing. We verify the Graff signature, metal hallmarks, diamond quality, stone security, and overall craftsmanship on every piece — so you can buy with complete confidence. All purchases include free domestic shipping and our full money-back authenticity guarantee.
Frequently Asked Questions — Pre-Owned Graff Bracelets
What makes Graff bracelets different from other diamond bracelets?
Graff is the only major jewelry house that controls its diamonds from rough stone through finished piece — operating its own cutting and polishing facility in Johannesburg alongside its London production atelier. This vertical integration means every diamond in a Graff bracelet has been cut specifically to Graff's standards, matched to its companions with a precision that external sourcing cannot replicate, and set by master artisans who have spent hundreds of hours on each piece. The result is a level of diamond quality, color matching, and setting precision that is immediately distinguishable from any other jewelry house.
Are pre-owned Graff bracelets authentic?
Every Graff bracelet sold at Opulent Jewelers is fully authenticated prior to listing. We inspect the Graff signature engraving, metal hallmarks, diamond quality and color consistency, stone security, and overall craftsmanship. Our full money-back authenticity guarantee means that if a piece is ever found to be inauthentic, we will refund your purchase in full — no questions asked.
What is the most collectible Graff bracelet?
Graff fancy colored diamond bracelets — particularly pink diamond pavé bangles and yellow diamond designs featuring Fancy Vivid stones — are the most significant and collectible pieces in the Graff bracelet catalog. The Butterfly collection bracelet is the most recognized Graff design on the secondary market. Among Classic Graff pieces, diamond tennis bracelets and pavé bangles featuring D-F color stones are the most consistently liquid and valued on resale. Any Graff piece with documented provenance and original papers commands a premium above equivalent pieces without documentation.
How much does a pre-owned Graff bracelet cost?
Pre-owned Graff bracelet prices vary significantly based on collection, stone weight, stone type, metal, and condition. Classic Graff diamond tennis bracelets and smaller pavé bangles typically begin around $8,000–$20,000. Butterfly and Tilda's Bow collection bracelets with significant diamond content range from $15,000–$50,000 or more. Yellow diamond and fancy colored diamond pieces — particularly pink diamond designs — command substantially higher prices based on the rarity and quality of the stones involved. Purchasing pre-owned at Opulent Jewelers offers meaningful savings versus new boutique retail on all Graff designs.
Does Graff use colored diamonds in its bracelets?
Yes. Graff has a longer and more distinguished history with fancy colored diamonds than virtually any other jewelry house. Yellow diamond bracelets featuring Fancy Intense and Fancy Vivid Yellow stones, pink diamond pavé bangles featuring hundreds of perfectly matched pink diamonds, and designs incorporating blue, orange, and other fancy colored stones are among the most extraordinary and significant pieces in the Graff bracelet catalog. Graff's relationship with colored diamonds traces directly to Laurence Graff's personal fascination with and expertise in the rarest stones in the world.
Where are Graff bracelets made?
All Graff bracelets are made at the house's global headquarters in London, by master artisans working with techniques rooted in centuries of European goldsmithing tradition. Each piece can spend hundreds of hours at the hands of craftsmen before completion. Graff's diamond cutting and polishing operations are conducted at its Johannesburg facility — one of the world's largest — ensuring every stone enters the London workshop already matched and prepared to Graff's exacting standards.
What is the Classic Graff collection?
The Classic Graff collection is the house's signature line — a range of jewelry designed around the founding principle that extraordinary diamonds in timeless settings are the highest form of the jeweler's art. Classic Graff bracelets include the house's diamond tennis bracelets, pavé diamond bangles, and round brilliant-cut diamond link designs — all featuring diamonds of exceptional quality in settings engineered to maximize their brilliance. The Classic Graff collection is Laurence Graff's most direct statement of what the house stands for: the finest stones, the most precise craftsmanship, and a design language that will never be obsolete.
