JACQUES TIMEY FOR HARRY WINSTON
The brand of the same name,founded by Mr. Harry Winston in New York in 1932,has been setting new benchmarks for magnificent jewelry production for nearly a century. Ever since Harry Winston became the first jeweler to sponsor the Oscars in 1944,there has been no doubt that he is known as the“King of Diamonds”and“Jeweler to the Stars". Countless celebrities and marvelous leaders,such as the legendary actress Elizabeth Taylor,the former British King,Duke Windsor,and Princess Diana,all have added their prestige to its glorious history.
Mr. Winston believed that every stone was unique,just like every person is unique. Based on this revolutionary philosophy,Harry Winston created the name“Winston Cluster”inlaying method,with marquise,pear,and round shaped diamonds,clustered and inlaid into a leaf-like connection,which has become a signature symbol of the brand and generate a tremendous impact profoundly.
The design of the emerald necklace sold this time perfectly reflects the ultimate aesthetics of Harry Winston. A total of 24 oil-free emeralds from Colombia with a total of 45.95 carats and 116 marquise-shaped diamonds with a total of 44.67 carats were used. The design was led by Jacques Timey to highlight its fascinating glamour.
Technically,ordinary emeralds will experience more cracks and inclusions during the formation process,which will cause fragmentation during the cutting process. Generally speaking,oiling emeralds can achieve the preventive effect,but meanwhile,it also clearly distinguishes the disparity in quality from oil-free emeralds. It can be seen that oil-free emeralds are very rare on the market due to the feature of no cracks and no oil injection.
Additionally,only the emeralds produced in Colombia’s Muzo mine lot can achieve such color quality. Except for the certificate issued by the SSEF,the AGL laboratory has also recognized it as the AGL Classic Colombia. Not all gems deserve this noble title,only emeralds with top gemological characteristics and qualities are eligible to be awarded. And gems that can pass such a rigorous rating are even rarer in the market.
Commendably,this Master Piece has as many as 24 oil-free emeralds inlaid,which is a rare occasion in a lifetime. The combination of Harry Winston’s superior cutting standard will ensure the flawless quality of this piece of jewelry and highlights the distinctiveness of the oil-free emeralds.
This extraordinary necklace designed by Harry Winston has the most classic design,ultimate craftsmanship,and the first-class emeralds from Colombia that have not been brought for any clarity enhancement treatments,making it a true collector’s piece.
