The eight curated rooms, “History and Heritage, Historic Stones, Fifth Avenue, Winston Design, Timepieces, King of Diamonds, Rare Jewels, and Red Carpet, reflected the splendid and timeless aesthetic of the House.

Rare Jewels of the World, when Winston opened the doors of Harry Winston, Inc., in 1932, he had already garnered a reputation as a broker of the world’s most extraordinary diamonds and gemstones. And while he was known as the King of Diamonds, Winston’s unparalleled gemological expertise extended far past just colorless stones, with many of his most prized jewels set with vivid rubies, emeralds and sapphires.
His unerring eye for the finest colored gemstones was one of the founding pillars of the House and led to its longstanding commitment to the rarest, most exceptional jewels of the world.
