HARRY WINSTON DOESN’T take its King of Diamonds sobriquet lightly, nor without rightful claim. Although it was conferred the title by a fashion magazine in 1947, the jewellery house’s royal provenance goes beyond surface salutations.
Throughout its history, many of Harry Winston’s acquisitions and creations have been closely linked with nobility. The most famous pieces of jewellery acquired by the company include a 337.1-carat deep-blue sapphire once owned by Catherine the Great; cabochon emerald and diamond anklets from the maharaja of Baroda; and the Westminster Tiara featuring two perfect pear-shaped diamonds, known as Arcots, dating back to the time of King George III. Additionally, Harry Winston is also known for crafting bespoke jewellery—fabulous tiaras, necklaces and earrings—for royalty the world over since its inception.
