Harry Winston

Harry Winston was a multifaceted individual, much like the rare gemstones and precious jewels that were central to his life. He possessed an innate understanding of gemology, was an intuitive entrepreneur, a dedicated philanthropist, and perhaps the ultimate risk-taker. In 1932, he founded his eponymous business in New York City with an unwavering commitment to the world's most exceptional jewels.

Over the years, the company has maintained its reputation for producing the finest jewelry and high-end watches, presenting extraordinary collections that not only push creative boundaries but also transcend time and generations.

As the unquestioned "King of Diamonds," Mr. Winston's creative philosophy, which allowed individual gemstones to dictate the design of each piece of jewelry rather than their metal settings, revolutionized modern fine jewelry and continues to serve as the foundation for all Winston designs today. This pioneering spirit also led to the introduction of Harry Winston Timepieces in 1989, uniting the House's expertise in fine jewelry with the art of fine watchmaking.

From captivating stories about acquiring some of the world's most famous gemstones, including the legendary Hope, Jonker, Lesotho, and Winston Legacy diamonds, to adorning Hollywood's leading ladies and members of international royalty, Harry Winston has been an emblem of excellence for over eight decades, becoming one of the most recognizable names in the jewelry industry.

In 2010, in line with Mr. Winston's commitment to philanthropy, Harry Winston, Inc. introduced The Harry Winston Brilliant Futures™ Charitable Program, which supports leading organizations in its salon communities worldwide.

Today, the House operates more than 40 salons across the globe and continues to uphold its tradition of creativity, rarity, and unwavering quality.
