I remember the first time I met Ray in New York in the late 1990s. I complimented him on his pearl pendant, which he told me he had made himself. He asked where I had purchased my watch and when I answered, “Rox in Sydney” he said, “I thought so. I used to own that shop!”

This sort of serendipity abounds for Ray and exemplifies the ease with which he connects with people. Ray’s singular sensibility is infused in his signature Ray Griffiths jewels, custom orders, and redesigns of heirlooms. His encyclopedic knowledge of gems, as well as the balance and structure of jewels, make his pieces as elegant and playful as they are wearable. Simply put, I absolutely love Ray and the magnificent jewelry he creates.
