Twisted Classic

For a long time fine jewelery has been distinguished in two outputs of stones: the precious ones and the others, which are also called semi-precious stones or fine stones. This historical distinction was based primarily on the rarity of gems, but also on more ambiguous criteria, such as hardness. Keeping the scarcity of Earth into consideration, the Earth has sliced.

Harry Winston, known worldwide for these diamonds with unheard of caratages, has always made color a privileged ground of expression. Although it is not a very popular belief. The jeweler of brilliance proves that this predilection is stronger than ever, at a recent Christie's auction of a pink diamond Fancy Vivid. The 18.96-carat stone, which once belonged to the Oppenheimer family, was taken off at a price of $ 50 million. The gem was further renamed as "Winston Pink Legacy".

This new deal has convinced the New York house to give a second life to a series of archival sketches. It comprises of glittering cocktail rings in various fancy sizes, dating from the 1950s and 1960s. The potential of these drawings allowed the designers of the house to transpose the jeweler's aesthetic signature into the sphere of gluttony: the result is a fabulous collection in sweet colors.

"Winston Candy" - this collection reunites the brightness of tourmaline, the pastel sweetness of sapphire and the delicacy of mandarin garnet.

Together they are 29 unique pieces, which are such a delight to the eyes.
