Majestic Escapes by Harry Winston High Jewellery Collection
Harry Winston is a name synonymous with glamour and grandeur. And Majestic Escapes by Harry Winston lives up to this ideal. As a high jewellery collection inspired by some of the most beautiful and luxurious destinations of the world, it captivates with its striking jewellery designs, exceptional jewellery craftsmanship and choice of sumptuous gems.
Another riveting aspect of this collection is its superb selection of cultured pearls, that are featured as hero gems in several “pearlescent” destinations.
Majestic Destinations – A Rendezvous With Pearls
Harry Winston’s Majestic Escapes collection takes us to five breathtaking destinations, each inextricably linked with pearls. These destinations are artistically brought to life through high jewellery pieces of outstanding beauty. Every piece reflects the natural landscapes and scenic vistas that have immortalized those destinations in the hearts of both global travellers and jewellery lovers alike.
Tahiti
The Tahiti suite of jewels is redolent of salty island breezes and the distinctive, scintillating black sands of French Polynesia’s beaches. It also brings to mind calm azure waters of sheltered lagoons as sparkling sunlight illuminates them.
The Tahiti necklace perfectly captures the essence of Tahiti’s landscape. Dark, lustrous and mysterious Tahitian pearls are lined with deeply saturated, pear-shaped cabochon turquoise and pear-cut and brilliant cut diamonds, creating a bejeweled spectacle that embodies the spirit of this enchanting destination.
Bora Bora
Almost mirroring the Tahiti suite, the Bora Bora jewels echo the lush white sands and vibrant blue waters of this island paradise. Luminous, white, round South Sea pearls find their perfect complements in deeply saturated pear-shaped cabochon turquoise and round brilliant diamonds.
An ode to the picturesque landscape of Bora Bora, Harry Winston’s Majestic Escapes collection brings it alive through luscious white pearls, diamonds and turquoise.
Bermuda
Another destination, another exceptional set of high jewellery pieces. The Bermuda suite captures the pink sand beaches and pristine waters of this island getaway through a creative interplay of diamonds, rubies, pink sapphires, and Akoya pearls.
The Bermuda high jewellery necklace features a large, round, brilliant-cut diamond that sparkles at the centre, much like the crystal clear waters of Bermuda. A surround of rubies and pink sapphires, arranged in an ombré pattern, transitioning from light pink to dark, evoke the vibrant colours of the flora of this little corner of paradise. A strand of highly lustrous, round, white Akoya pearls, perfectly matched in colour, size and iridescence, completes the necklace with a round, diamond-set clasp.
Mount Fuji
The Mount Fuji pieces expresse the perfect symmetry of Japan’s iconic peak with a sublime medley of white Akoya pearls, a large white drop-baroque South Sea pearl and shining diamonds.
The necklace is an allegorical abstraction of Mount Fuji. At its centre, a large (28.59 carat) drop-baroque, white South Sea pearl represents the snow-capped summit. Clusters of white Akoya pearls reflect the soft clouds floating above the peak while pear-shaped, marquise-cut and round, brilliant-cut diamonds serve as precious stand-ins for the glittering ice and snow that line the slopes of this magnificent mountain.
This dazzling necklace and its matching set of earrings and ring are one of the finest jewelled tributes to the eternal beauty of Mount Fuji.
Bali at Sunrise
A magnificent jewellery suite that perfectly embodies the beauty of a serene sunrise over Bali’s waters, the Bali jewels pay homage to the breathtaking vistas of the Indonesian island with the one gem that it’s most renowned for– the golden South Sea pearl.
The Bali at Sunrise pieces exquisitely recreate the magical beauty of dawn over the still, tropical waters surrounding the island. Crafted with lustrous, golden South Sea pearls, yellow diamonds and white diamonds, the Bali at Sunrise necklace features a large golden South Sea pearl (15.30 mm) at the centre. This centrepiece is embellished further with a halo of white and yellow diamonds, emulating the first rays of sunlight as they skim over the tranquil waters.
A strand of golden, round South Sea pearls alternating with diamond-set rondelles and diamond-encrusted beads, completes this shimmering dream!
