$55,000.000 ...Only ?

The creation was the brainchild of firm founder and chairman Laurence Graff,
who used diamonds from his personal collection. It took thousands of hours
to create, the company said.

I wonder what was he thinking ?
I guess utilise many small stones laying around in the office ?

I worked in London many decades ago for LG's competition
I am the same age as his brother Raymond (LG is 9 years older)
Anyway his net worth is 4.5 Billion which means to me... I was the
one not thinking...

Great creation from Lawrence Graff...

Gotta tell you anastasio - that piece looks incredible in the flesh.

I saw it today at the graff booth and it's called - hallucination.

It's clearly a demo of their buying power and client base. They'll make a
Handful and will sell for twice the going rate in 20-30 years.

Throw a bag of jolly ranchers in the microwave for 20 seconds and it will look the same.

It's a show piece for the brand. It'll go on tour, then into a safe for decades.

There is no way a photo could do it justice.
