The Engagement Ring Collection

Every engagement ring is designed to showcase the very best a diamond stone can offer, its unique facets and colouring ensure no two stones are similar. At Harry Winston, a diamond engagement ring starts out by the selection of a diamond that will feature as the centrepiece, before going on to choose the side stones that will complement the primary one with a natural beauty.

Harry Winston assesses its stones using the four Cs; cut, colour, clarity and carat. All of its diamonds can be cut according to the design of the ring, but the colour however, cannot be altered. Using only the top three colour grades (D, E, and F); Harry Winston ensures its diamonds are deemed colourless, giving that extra sparkle to finished pieces, making them more valuable and rare. Nature determines the clarity of the diamond, where surface characteristics and internal inclusions are dotted throughout the stone. At Harry Winston only stones ranging from flawless to VS2 in clarity, where no inclusions are visible to the naked eye are accepted.

Once the gems are chosen, the designers at the Maison take the next step and fashion a setting that will reveal the diamonds’ heart and soul in a technique that is contemporary, classical and incredibly sophisticated to suit the slender fingers of those who own the ring. Each ring is crafted in highly polished platinum that has a mirror-like finish, where the setting tightly grips the stones using the least amount of metal in order to maximize the brilliance and scintillation of each diamond.

No detail is overlooked at the final stages as each ring is engraved with the HW hallmark, as well as a description of the metal fineness and carat weight of the ring’s centre stone. Crafted under rigorous conditions, each Harry Winston engagement ring is scrutinised under the highest and most onerous quality standards in the industry before arriving at the brand’s boutique.
