M r Winston knows better than anyone that diamonds are a girl’s best friend, so which house could be better placed to present the magnificent, glittering Sparkling Cluster collection? The clusters of dazzling stones in pendant, earring and ring format are a nod toHarryWinston’s rich design heritage, vague seams of Art Deco design running through many of the Maison’s pieces since it was established in the tail end of the epoch, in 1947. Different sized diamonds, a design quirk so prevalent in many Harry Winston designs, are delicately, carefully matched in neat, beautiful little packages that look like little starbursts. In the ring, the 12 brilliant-cut diamonds of varying sizes weigh in at 2.35 carats set in platinum. For the earrings, 20 diamonds totalling 4.26 carats form a scintillating flash of asymmetrical light, a single pear-cut diamond suspended at one corner. The necklace contains a staggering 151 diamonds of a hefty 15.39 carats in total, combining round and pear-shaped diamonds. All of the pieces, regardless of the number of diamonds they contain, feature that reliable Harry Winston elegance. The Maison’s team of designers often look to the past for their inspiration, but not at the expense of the future, for these are most modern diamonds.
