Graff’s New Collection Is a Diamond Ode to Springtime
Graff’s ethereal new fine jewelry collection is called “Wild Flower.”
"London—Playful and free-spirited, Graff’s new fine jewelry collection channels spring’s new life.

Graff employed different combinations and variations of four floral motifs in the “Wild Flower” collection, as in these rings representing a cluster of flowers and an individual bloom.
Graff said the collection communicates a delicate-yet-empowered spirit that allows the wearer the ability to make the pieces her own.
Graff Design Director Anne-Eva Geffroy said in a press release: “At Graff, floral motifs have long been part of our heritage. With the Wild Flower collection, we take a fresh perspective with a contemporary reinterpretation of the flower—one that is freed from tradition and bursting with life.”
“Wild Flower” launched in January.
