The high-jewelry assortment features a dazzling array of jewels crafted to celebrate fanciful, far-flung destinations
After two years of travel restrictions due to the pandemic, the world is ready for a summer of exotic getaways to far flung destinations. Harry Winston taps right into that desire with its new Majestic Escapes high jewelry collection, a dazzling set of eight suites, all named after famous locales. From the blooming hot pink bougainvillea along Italy’s Amalfi Coast, to the iconic domed structures of Santorini and the sunset hues of the great canyons in America, the spirit of each global destination has been perfectly rendered with vibrant, rare gemstones masterfully set by the legendary New York maison’s artisans. Taking more than two years to complete, from the conception to creation, the collection is a bejeweled journey for the senses.
