HARRY WINSTON
The legacy of Harry Winston embarks since 1932 in New York. Over the decades, Winston’s signature clustering setting has gained prominent recognition in the diamond industry.
In 1943, Harry Winston revolutionised modern red carpet glamour when he dressed Best Actress winner Jennifer Jones in his signature diamonds, setting a new standard for celebrity style and the Jeweller to the Stars was born.
Throughout the history, Harry Winston pursued the most extraordinary gems for his exquisite jewellery. His team of designers and artisans continue to work hand in hand to create the finest jewellery. Harry Winston pieces have gained the patronage of many royalties, film stars and celebrities. Radiating coveted brilliance, these spectacular works dazzle anyone who wears them.
As a prolific collector of the finest gems, Harry Winston’s affinity with emeralds is conspicuous, accentuated by his purchase of The Spanish Inquisition Necklace, a 17th-century emerald and diamond necklace, in 1947. The necklace had formerly been in the possession of Spanish royalty, the French Court and an Indian maharaja over the centuries. To be offered in the upcoming auction is an 8.60-carat natural untreated Colombian emerald ring from Harry Winston (Lot 79). With exceptional purity and paired with two dazzling pear-shaped diamonds, this emerald is an irresistible beauty to enrich one’s collection.
