Graff Vintage Diamond Butterfly Charm Tennis Bracelet

Did you know that the colors on butterfly wings are either fixed or changeable? Pigment colors are bright and inky and remain constant no matter the conditions. Structural colors, however, shift with the light, producing an iridescent effect or rainbow of color. What could be more quintessential to portray this fascinating quality of butterfly wings than the scintillation and fire of a diamond? Especially a Graff diamond selected for the utmost quality, magnificence, and charisma. Graff diamonds are cut and polished by master craftsmen to reveal a hypnotic kaleidoscope of prismatic brilliance. This Graff Diamond Butterfly Bracelet, made in London in the 21st century, circa 2000s, is crafted in 18K white gold set with diamonds weighing an estimated total of 9.03 carats. The gross weight of the 6.75 inch long (17.15 cm) bracelet is 18.39 grams. A Graff box and papers accompany the piece.

A butterfly has a delicate lightness like no other creature. Its vibrant beauty is all the more intensified because its lifespan is so brief. Butterflies symbolize Spring, transformation, life, and joyousness—all beautiful blessings to be captured in a precious jewel such as this. The bracelet comprises 10 mixed-cut diamonds weighing an estimated 3.67 carats total and 31 round diamonds weighing an estimated 5.36 carats total. The diamonds are of D-F color and VS+ clarity. The overall form of the stunning jewel is a lovely variation on a diamond line or eternity bracelet, which follows a pattern of four round brilliant-cut diamonds alternating with a single marquise-cut diamond, except for the push-clasp, which is adorned with two additional rounds. The focal point is a butterfly charm that dangles from one of the marquise diamonds, suspended by two rounds which ever-so-subtly taper in size. Like the bracelet itself, the butterfly is comprised solely of diamonds set with minimal metal to allow the dazzling effects of the gemstones to take center stage. The butterfly comprises 2 marquise-cut diamonds for the upper wings and two pear-shaped diamonds with curved sides facing outwards for the lower wings. Punctuating the convergence of all four wings is a prismatic, highly polished single prong in 18K white gold that likewise catches the light beautifully.

The Butterfly Collection is an ethereal offering from Graff where shimmering diamonds trace the butterfly’s graceful form, which is still in production today. The collection includes necklaces, earrings, bracelets, and rings, largely featuring pavé diamonds, but none with such a robust gemstone offering as this excellent example. The combination of round, pear, and marquise diamonds together form a symphony of sensational sparkle. The chromatic effects of the beautifully symmetrical pear and marquise diamond wings would delight even an iridescent South American Blue Morpho butterfly or an Indonesian Peacock Swallowtail, both of which utilize structures to produce their magical wing colors. The butterfly is a signature motif for the House, celebrated for its fleeting beauty, inspiring an entire universe of jewels at Graff.
