Graffiti and jewelry, the audacity of Harry Winston
At the origin of every vocation, there is a place. For the Maison Harry Winston, This place bears a name: New York City. Not a backdrop, but an active presence, a continuous breath. The New York collection is rooted in this sensitive lineage, where architecture dialogues with light and where each street seems to draw a line.
With Graffiti, A new chapter opens, drawing inspiration from the raw energy of the city. Here, inspiration is not confined to contemplation; it flows freely. The letters H and W become a territory of expression: sculpted volumes, angular lines, a play of relief that captures the brilliance of diamonds and colored stones. The jewelry writing breaks free from the expected codes without ever denying the formal exigency that defines the Maison.
The creations of earrings, pendants, bracelets, and brooches are part of a visual grammar nourished by the energy of Downtown. The pink sapphires meet the diamonds in contrasting combinations; the blue sapphires compose other harmonies, more nocturnal; the all-diamond emphasizes a more graphic, almost architectural reading.
A brooch «H.W.» in Paraíba pink sapphires and tourmalines evokes the excitement of SoHo. It seems to evoke something from its cast-iron façades, its light-filled workshops, and its creative spirits. Wearing this piece means adopting a rhythm, that of Manhattan, and making jewelry not a mere ornament, but a signature.
