Launched in 2018, Harry Winston's collection in New York comprises eight suites inspired by the city's distinctive architecture. The City Lights suite features vibrant diamonds that capture the essence of Broadway's illumination. Designs reminiscent of Upper West Side brownstones are included as well. A necklace from the Cathedral Collection draws inspiration from the spires of St. Patrick's Cathedral, which was completed in 1878, showcasing pear-shaped emeralds. The Eagle suite reflects the bronze eagles of Grand Central Terminal, adorned with diamond arcs. The Fifth Avenue Arch suite, inspired by Gilded Age mansions and the 1895 Washington Square Arch, boasts 132 carats of sapphires. The Manhattan Adornment suite showcases bold architectural patterns, while the Graffiti suite pays homage to SoHo's 1970s art movement. Lastly, the 718 Marble Marquetry suite highlights the marble details from Winston's 1960 salon. Born in 1896, Winston operated from 7 East 51st Street.
