Crafting resplendent jewels that transcend time has long been a guiding principle at Harry Winston; this year’s opulent High Jewellery collection, Royal Adornments, is a testament to the house’s unwavering commitment.
Widely recognised 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 lineage and were real-life artifacts from the jewel boxes of Marie Antoinette and Catherine the Great.
In 1952, Life magazine proclaimed that only the House of Windsor could rival Winston in stone-collecting prowess. Though he pioneered the publicitydrawing practice of loaning jewellery 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.
Royal Adornments centers this longstanding relationship. Drawing upon specif ic gemstones, designs, and stories, the Maison has assembled 14 High Jewellery suites that celebrate its rich history of dressing the most inf luential people of the day.
