When it comes to diamonds, who better to give advice than Harry Winston, the “King of Diamonds”? Apart from taking the stress out of the purchase – as the firm only deals in diamonds in the top grades of colour (D, E and F) and clarity (flawless to VS2) – Harry Winston is a die-hard romantic.
A man and a woman meet serendipitously, recognise something in each other, pursue that connection and find their perfect partners for life. The jeweller has even made a film about it, culminating in an exquisite wedding where diamonds are synonymous with a gloriously happy ending. Well, not an ending. More a beginning, symbolised by the everlasting beauty of the diamond.
“The Perfect Pair” is the underlying theme of Harry Winston bridal jewellery. A splendid pairing is the emerald-cut diamond engagement ring, known as the Classic Winston. Platinum-set, the diamond is flanked by tapered baguettes. This is a perfect match for the wedding band channel-set with 25 baguette diamonds. But equally potent are the Rock Bands which are full circles of emerald-cut, oval or radiant-cut diamonds.

The round brilliant Solitaire is an engagement ring classic. Harry Winston’s interpretation in the Brilliant Love ring features a shank of 24 round brilliants. This year the maison has introduced a new Brilliant Love wedding band, micro-paved with diamonds, which has an elegant little twist in it.
Diamond-set wedding bands also complement The One, an engagement ring which can have a round brilliant, a cushion-cut or an oval centre stone with a micropavé halo, each tiny diamond set by hand in true Harry Winston attention to detail. In the Belle engagement ring, the halo becomes a geometric bezel which give the ring a vintage charm.
There is a lot to explore in this bridal collection but everyone should check out the HW logo diamond engagement ring, which is contemporary yet timeless. The HW represents Harry Winston but also Husband and Wife. How perfect is that?
Why size matters if you want the perfect engagement ring
And lest you think it is all about the bride, take a close look at the wedding bands in the new film. They are matching Harry Winston Traffic wedding bands, a linear sequence of one baguette and seven round brilliant diamonds in platinum. They have a spare elegance which suits both the masculine and feminine spirit and summarises the perfect union of bride and groom.
