Harry Winston Necklace – Gems on Fire!

Written by:  Donna Pulese-Murphy

Ablaze with fiery rubies and brilliant diamonds, this superlative Harry Winston necklace was recently purchased by Andrew & Peter Fabrikant.  Along with other magnificent jewels we have procured over the years, including Tiffany, Van Cleef & Arpels, Cartier and Graff, this Harry Winston necklace is a very desirable find for our international clients.

Exalting the innate beauty of gemstones are a series of flaming red pear-shaped rubies and dazzling round cut diamonds with suspended trefoil circular-cut diamond accents. Mounted in platinum, the approximate total weight of the diamonds is an imposing
45.50 cts. & the rubies are 43.00 cts.

Quoted as saying “If I could, I would attach the diamonds directly onto a woman’s skin” Harry Winston, the King of Diamonds, became renowned with his touring “Court of Jewels” exhibit which began in 1949, the same year he purchased the infamous Hope Diamond (donated to the Smithsonian Institution in 1958.) Paying homage to the unyielding spirit of New York, Harry Winston also created the New York Collection in 2009 which “painted the city in the rarest palette of gemstones.”

As this New Year of 2012 begins, we at Andrew & Peter Fabrikant, toast those fine jewelry houses and great designers whose eye for aesthetics, innovation and appreciation of fine gemstones have given us a bounty of beautiful jewels.
