An extraordinary high jewelry creation from Harry Winston, this magnificent necklace exemplifies the house’s unrivaled command of colored gemstones and diamond artistry during the golden era of postwar haute joaillerie. Fashioned in platinum and 18K yellow gold, the design is anchored by a sumptuous procession of Burmese rubies—unheated and of exceptional saturation—graduated and expertly set to follow the natural line of the neckline with fluid elegance.

The rubies, totaling approximately 43.88 carats across 22 stones, are framed by an opulent cascade of brilliant-cut and pear-shaped diamonds, weighing approximately 53.88 carats. The diamonds are arranged in layered, articulated rows, creating remarkable depth, movement, and a soft, scintillating fringe that animates the necklace as it is worn. Subtle pink sapphire accents further enrich the composition, adding nuance and chromatic harmony.

Certified by SSEF, confirming the rubies’ Burmese origin and absence of heat treatment, this necklace represents the pinnacle of Harry Winston’s legacy in colored gemstones—bold yet refined, luxurious yet impeccably balanced. A museum-worthy jewel of rare caliber, it is both a commanding statement and a timeless investment in the finest 20th-century high jewelry.
