Laurence Graff has spared no expense in celebrating his 60th anniversary as a diamond jeweler.
Recreating his iconic Hair and Jewel image from the Seventies -- which featured a model wearing an ornate coiffure decorated with $1million of diamonds and precious gems -- this time, the 75-year-old used $500 million worth of precious jewels.
Model Dalia Gunther had her chignon outfitted with 22 rare jewels created at Graff’s headquarters in London, inlcuding a 52.73-carat vivid yellow emerald cut diamond ring.
The original image, the idea of which originated from Mr Graff's travels around the world carrying a suitcase of Graff diamond jewelry, received international attention and became a landmark promotion for Graff Diamonds, founded in 1960.

'Hair & Jewel created an interest and excitement for the jewelry crafted by Graff, which continues to this day.'
Continuing to push the luxury envelop, Graff also unveiled a $100million Peacock Brooch, featuring a collection of colored diamonds totally 120.81 carats with a 20.02-carat blue pear shape diamond centerpiece.
He was also awarded a Most Excellent Order of the british Empire for Services in jewelry, one of the highest honors awarded by the British monarchy.
