Crafting resplendent jewels that transcend time has long been a guiding principle at Harry Winston; this year’s opulent High Jewelry collection, Royal Adornments, is a testament to the house’s unwavering commitment. Widely recognized as the “King of Diamonds” and once owning the famed Hope Diamond, Winston had an acumen for sourcing and setting rare and exceptional gemstones—brilliant rubies, sapphires, emeralds, Paraiba tourmalines, even pink conch pearls.
Like his diamonds, his gemstones boasted an illustrious magazine proclaimed that only the House of Windsor could rival Winston in stone-collecting prowess. Though he pioneered the publicity-drawing practice of loaning jewelry to actresses on the red carpet, Winston also maintained an air of discretion, often creating bespoke pieces for nobility around the world and cementing a profound connection between the house of Harry Winston and royalty.
