Graff Diamonds, Palm Beach, Florida.

Designed lighting for ultra high-end jewelry store featuring French Empire display cases, cloud burst ceilings and inlaid marble floors. Besides lessening the contrast ratio's which made their other stores appear too dark, three-dimensional lighting was added to the clients' mirrored seating areas, to enliven their reflections when trying on the jewelry, giving clients’ faces a healthy glow, and the diamonds a crisp, white accent to best show their fire.
