EAGLE The cast-iron eagle statues perched high above Grand Central Station were a welcome sight when the in-demand jeweller returned home from his frequent travels. Pairing white and fancy yellow diamonds, these pieces emulate the wings of the majestic birds that watched over Winston on his many journeys.

718

In 1960, Harry Winston moved to this prestigiou­s address on Fifth Avenue. The 718 sub-collection reflects the architectu­ral grandeur and French-inspired interiors of his sophistica­ted salon. The 718 Marble Marquetry suite mirrors its striking lobby of black and white marble in a diamond and sapphire necklace, earrings and ring. The diamond pieces in the 718 Chandelier suite dazzle like the boutique’s distinctiv­e decorative light, while the gold-plated glass cabinets that adorned the walls inspired the 718 Emerald Vitrine pieces, which pair Colombian emeralds with a bouquet of baguette, marquise and round brilliant diamonds.

CITY OF LIGHTS

Winston and his wife were patrons of the arts and regularly attended shows on Broadway. These pieces reimagine the glitz and glamour of New York’s vibrant theatrelan­d through colourful diamonds and vivid precious gemstones such as sapphires, rubies and emeralds.

CATHEDRAL

The first Harry Winston office overlooked St Patrick’s Cathedral, a neo-gothic landmark with dramatic stained-glass windows. The Cathedral necklace and earrings with pear-shaped emeralds and diamonds reflect the jeweller’s love of bold colours and radiant light.

CENTRAL PARK

With its peaceful ponds, wooded walkways and manicured gardens, this oasis of calm provided Winston with a place for contemplat­ion and inspiratio­n. The Central Park Mosaic collection celebrates the natural beauty of this enchanting green space with a ring, bracelet and earrings set with emeralds, sapphires, diamonds and aquamarine­s.

BROWNSTONE

Harry Winston grew up in one of New York’s charming townhouses, known as a brownstone­s due to their earth-toned sandstone facades. In this collection, fond memories of his childhood home are reflected by colourful square-cut gems artfully arranged into architectu­ral motifs alongside baguette-cut, round brilliant and marquise-shaped diamonds. The Brownstone set includes a long pendant necklace and complement­ing earrings available in blue and yellow sapphires or sugar loaf turquoise with blue sapphires.
