Necklace with thrill, shock watch-bracelet: at Baselworld the British brand Graff showed his best. Jewelery-watches, like the one with white diamonds mounted as if they were a soft strip, or the now classic butterflies paved with pink or blue sapphires, which open revealing the dial of the timepiece. Among other things, the choice of a diamond bracelet with a small clock in the center may seem like a very traditional way: Graff, however, is keen to let people know that now to get to these levels must also use new technologies, in this case a 3D printer, next to the craftsmanship of the goldsmiths. But, of course, Graff is and remains primarily a jeweler. We could see up close the superb necklaces with white diamonds drip, like a crystal-clear waterfall. Or made with diamond and sapphire, in this case worn by a model. Or the series that made eyes widen to more than a visitor, composed of large diamonds and emeralds. Margherita Donato

By the way it is also a brand that has long extended its range of action, because next to jewelry also offers accessories such as bags, key chains and straps. But the jewelry remains its main business, which divided into two strands. The one with the brand Roberto Bravo, more sophisticated, and the one baptized with a number, 935, that will appeal to a wider audience. The number refers to silver (usually marked as 925), and alludes to a higher rung on the quality of the metal.

Like the “still life” of painting, they comprise many elements together: flowers, animals, leaves, made with gold and enamel, combined to create a unique jewel. They can like. Rudy Serra
