HARRY WINSTON’S WINSTON GATES

Harry Winston earned his ‘King of Diamonds’ moniker by opening the gates of his Fifth Avenue salon to showcase his impressive diamond collection, rather than keeping them locked up in vaults. Staging public exhibitions around the world too, Winston is said to believe that objects of such beauty should be shared. It’s these very gates to his Manhattan boutique that inspired the Winston Gates collection, paying homage to the rare jewels that gave Winston his nickname, honoring the founder’s vision and lifelong passion for diamonds. The stately neoclassical travertine townhouse that

houses the jewelry brand’s flagship boutique at the corner of West 56th Street and Fifth Avenue was designed in a late-18th century style, complete with a gilded iron gate. The famous iron gate features a gold rosette pattern with 10 petals, accented by scrolling leaves and sculpted urns. Its namesake collection, launched in 2019, features a medallion pendant, earrings, bracelets and rings with a round brilliant diamond center stone and a surrounding rosette pattern and pavé diamonds made in either platinum, rose or yellow gold.
