Editor’s Note
This article highlights the timeless appeal of Harry Winston’s classic diamond jewelry, emphasizing how its enduring brilliance stems from exceptional craftsmanship and quality.
They catch your eye even when worn casually… Harry Winston’s ‘Round-Cut Tennis Bracelet’ and ‘Round-Cut Ear Studs’ are such items. They represent ultimate sophistication and jewelry that everyone eternally admires.
Because of their simple design, the key lies in the brilliance and shape of the diamonds themselves.
First, let’s touch upon the excellence of Harry Winston diamond brilliance and its reason.
Harry Winston was born the son of a jeweler. From a young age, he demonstrated exceptional insight and aesthetic sense, entering the world of gemstones at just 15 years old. Later, in 1920, he established a company called ‘Premier Diamond’ and began his diamond business. As a strategy to survive in the fiercely competitive industry, he focused on auctions of estate jewelry (jewelry previously owned by someone). Utilizing his innate aesthetic sense, he successively acquired diamonds with potential, then worked his magic by giving them new cuts and settings, transforming them into modern, captivating jewelry. This quickly became a topic of conversation, and he rapidly built his position as a leader in the high jewelry industry.
In 1932, after careful preparation, he founded the company bearing his own name, ‘Harry Winston,’ establishing a style that handled everything from design and production to sales. From then on, he embarked on a glorious career of successively acquiring world-famous and precious diamonds. By the time he owned over one-third of the world’s rare diamonds, people reportedly began calling him the ‘King of Diamonds.’ Since then, as is well known, he has continued to provide the highest quality jewelry and watches that captivate royalty, Hollywood stars, and many others.
That spirit and process are still strictly upheld and passed down today. That is precisely why beautifully brilliant diamond jewelry with maintained perfection continues to be created.
The ‘Tennis Bracelet’ and ‘Ear Studs’ are the most fitting items to showcase the beauty of meticulously selected diamonds. The purity of their design creates an image of a dignified, beautiful woman. They complement both natural skin and dressed-up makeup, amplifying the beauty of each moment in an all-purpose way. Despite their seemingly simple design, they exude a supreme presence—truly the ultimate items. Because both are simple, they are often set aside with thoughts like, ‘I’m drawn to other, more design-oriented jewelry, and I’ll want these someday…’ However, precisely because many people hesitate to take the plunge, it’s also true that those who wear them appear radiant.
Diamonds brimming with enough charm and power to be passed down for generations likely offer mental and aesthetic effects comparable to high-end creams just by being worn. Seal away thoughts of ‘someday’—if you want to become beautiful, it’s ‘now’! The simple brilliance, unaffected by era or style, is truly a brilliant piece that enhances the mature woman.
