Since the acquisition of the famous and legendary jeweler Harry Winston by the Swatch Group, we have been eagerly awaiting the release of their new high jewelry collections. Harry Winston has indeed accustomed us for the past few years to magnificent watches, revealing a level of know-how and craftsmanship that are both sought after and renowned... leaving us in suspense and impatient to discover the new jewelry pieces!
I addition to the high jewelry pieces and the exceptional stones which are only revealed to privileged customers, we were expecting a collection that would make us fall in love...
It is a done deed with the new Forget-Me-Not jewelry collection inspired by nature and more specifically by the wild myositis flower, which inscribes itself in the tradition of this Maison. Harry Winstonnienne Poetry celebrates the alliance of sublime gems and the beauty of nature for gardens that this Maison desires exceptional.
Forget-Me-Not carries a very romantic message and is inspired by a poetic legend about love between a knight and his lady, walking along a riverfront. As the knight bent over to pluck a flower, the weight of his armor threw him off balance and he fell in the water. As he drowned, he threw the flower ashore to his lady calling "Forget-Me-Not!".
The meaning behind this collection is even more intense, as it reinterprets the elegant slender silhouette of the forget-me-not flower; beautifully declined in seven jewels; necklace, pendant, earrings, bracelet, ring and graceful charm.
Diamonds are the ultimate signature for the Maison Harry Winston. Their unique know-how to invisibly set diamonds so that visually it seems to be directly in contact with the skin, revealing its full splendor.
This know-how is found yet again in this classic and timeless Forget-Me-Not collection. The strong symbolism of the diamonds, associated to eternity and that withstands the test of time, maintaining its beauty.
Pears, brilliants, marquises; all the diamond cuts are harmoniously adjusted to give this floral collection a resolutely modern and trendy touch.
We love the hyper-trendy earrings that can be transformed into two separate pairs. A very floral set for day wear which, assembled, make a dressy statement for the evening. To be worn with the ring and a little black dress... Magnificent!
With this full diamond timeless motif, the collection remains faithful to the Maison Harry Winston by declaring in an original and subtle way its eternal flame... Engagement ring, a necklace for a wedding anniversary... all is said!
