The legendary King of Diamonds opens in Milan

 

The new 3,821 square-foot salon is designed to capture the elegance and intimacy of a private estate

The House of Harry Winston, the legendary “King of Diamonds,” and international luxury brand, announces the opening of its new retail salon in Milan, Italy.

Located on Via Montenapoleone, one of the most prestigious and finest shopping destinations in the world, the salon houses Harry Winston’s exquisite jewelry and timepiece collections, including the finest diamonds and rarest gemstones available today.

The House’s signature soft taupe and grey color palette is used throughout and complements classic Winston elements such as custom designed lacquer, bronze accents, and antique bronze furniture with pristine marble floors and bespoke crystal chandeliers. The interior layout features dedicated galleries for bridal and collections, designed to highlight the breadth of Harry Winston’s exceptional offering, while ensuring clients the highly personalized shopping experience that the House is known for. Private selling rooms provide the ideal environment for a discreet and truly luxurious shopping experience.

In November, Harry Winston opened its second retail salon located inside the China World Trade Center in Beijing.

“The opening of our new China World Trade Center salon marks the House’s second location in Beijing and our sixth in China,” said Nayla Hayek, CEO of Harry Winston, Inc. “Beijing, an epicenter for fashion and luxury, is an incredibly important market for the House. This salon will be our second largest in China, and through this opening, we are excited to have a larger presence in the city.”

Designed to capture the elegance and intimacy of a private estate, the impressive two-story space, with entrances accessible from both the ground floor and basement level, includes classic Winston elements. Past the ornate gilded entryway, guests will enter a grand marble foyer decorated with the House’s signature black and white starburst motif.

Three private selling rooms provide the ideal environment for a discreet and truly luxurious shopping experience. The basement level features a dedicated bridal area, accented with hand-beaded silk walls, that displays the breadth of Harry Winston’s exceptional engagement and wedding jewelry offering. A grand staircase leads up to the first floor where a special gallery for the House’s unique high jewelry collections highlights Harry Winston’s legacy of expert craftsmanship and innovative design.

The Winston With Love Collection

For its latest offering of incredible jewels, the House of Harry Winston explores the intense feelings of love, through a fine jewelry collection that chronicle its extraordinary phases. Forged in diamonds and colorful precious gemstones, the collection is a true expression of L.O.V.E. Much like an acrostic poem, each letter represents a different phase of love – the crescendo of an emotion that is innately felt, but at times, hard to express. From the first light of affection, to a passionate obsession, to the ultimate vow and an eternity together, with each phase the feelings of love grow stronger, and more meaningful. Of all of life’s gifts, these feelings are among the greatest. Like rare diamonds and gemstones, love is a force of nature not to be reckoned with. This is Winston with Love.

Examining the infinite possibilities of this most heartfelt sentiment, the collection encapsulates each stage of love, focusing on variations in color, movement, meaning, and form. The collection, completely made by hand, offers a modern interpretation of the signature Winston design aesthetic and consists of 39 pieces, separated into four unique chapters: L – Winston Light; O – Winston Obsession; V- Winston Vow; and E – Winston Eternal.
