New York as Muse
New York has long shaped the Harry Winston story, and in the New York Collection Graffiti the city becomes the central creative force. It is treated as a living source of culture and design, drawing especially on the raw visual language of downtown Manhattan.
Flashes of color, angular geometry, and architectural boldness are distilled into a contemporary jewelry vocabulary that remains unmistakably Winston in craftsmanship and poise, echoing the city’s rhythm and confidence.
The H.W. Initials Reimagined
At the heart of Graffiti is the reworking of the H.W. initials as strong graphic elements. Diamonds and colored gemstones trace the letters in an exaggerated block effect, with sharp, angular lines lending an urban edge while nuanced setting techniques keep the look refined.
The H.W. motif functions as both signature and canvas, with pavé, facets, and considered negative space suggesting motion without losing balance. Each stone placement reflects controlled craftsmanship, giving collectors a modern way to wear a recognizable House code.
A Contemporary Suite: Earrings, Pendants, Bracelet and Brooches
The Graffiti narrative unfolds across earrings, pendants, a bracelet, and brooches, each interpreting the initials through a slightly different lens. Some pieces suspend the motif, others repeat or frame it to highlight form and negative space, encouraging a more relaxed, styling-led approach to high jewelry.
Designed for both day and evening, the suite brings what the House calls “daring attitude and fierce elegance” into focus. Earrings and pendants invite layering, the bracelet translates the graphic motif into a continuous rhythm along the wrist, and brooches reclaim their place as expressive statements.
Color Stories: From Monochrome to High Contrast
Color underscores Graffiti’s theme of expression. High-contrast combinations in pink sapphire and diamonds or blue sapphire and diamonds evoke vivid flashes across the city’s creative neighborhoods, with saturated hue set against diamond brilliance to sharpen the H.W. silhouette.
An all-diamond variation offers a monochrome reading, focusing attention on structure, light, and clarity of outline, for those who prefer a quieter yet still impactful interpretation of the design.
The SoHo-Inspired H.W. Brooch
A highlight of the collection is an H.W. brooch set with pink sapphires and Paraiba tourmalines, conceived as an homage to the SoHo art scene. Vivid pinks and the luminous character of Paraiba tourmaline echo the neighborhood’s galleries and street art, carrying a sense of Manhattan’s rhythm into any setting.
The piece unites Graffiti’s core ideas: bold typographic initials, angular forms tempered by brilliance, and a color story that feels both curated and spontaneous. It invites styling beyond convention—on a lapel, shoulder, or tailored silhouette—placing individuality ahead of traditional rules.
