“i love tHe diamond business. it’s a
cinderella World. it Has everytHing!
people! drama! romance! precious stones!
speculation! excitement! WHat more could
you Want?” – Harry Winston
consummate craftsman
“winston’s love of gemstones was expressed
in the jewelry created in his workshop. Most
likely, each diamond in this necklace was
acquired in its rough state and subsequently
cut and assembled by winston’s workmasters
into this elaborate design. the brilliant green
emeralds are perfectly matched in color, shape
and gradation. highly fluid, this necklace
wears like a silk ribbon.”
perennial favorite “the harry
winston diamond cluster motif is an icon
of the house. it is to jewelry what the black
dress is to fashion. the cluster technique
refers to the use of various shaped diamonds
set at different angles, held in place by
discreet platinum settings that create a sense
of three-dimensionality. the cluster earring
can be worn on its own, or it can be paired
with other pendants as seen here.”
