Love Stories Set in Stone

T

hroughout his lifetime, Mr. Winston believed that behind every great diamond was a fascinating story. That diamonds, like people, were most precious for their individuality. And that our most meaningful moments should be marked with jewels so exquisite and rare that they would forever serve as glittering reminders of our most cherished memories.

One of Mr. Winston’s greatest gifts was to impart his fascination with the beauty, the romance, the majesty and the mystique of great gemstones to a clientele that ranged from heads of state to Hollywood stars. Harry Winston’s renowned collection of rare jewels has been compared with those amassed by royal houses and governments alike.

Since 1932, some of Harry Winston’s most extraordinary diamonds have played a prominent role in commemorating some of the greatest romances of our time, from expressions of love— such as the flawless pear-shaped stone presented to Elizabeth Taylor by Richard Burton; to symbols of commitment—like the legendary Lesotho III diamond engagement ring given to Jacqueline Kennedy by Aristotle Onassis; to one of-a-kind jewels, for once in a lifetime celebrations.

“ A good diamond is a possession to be prized for generations.…”

– Mr. Harry Winston

When you purchase a Harry Winston engagement ring, our legacy becomes yours.

Harry Winston engagement ring is held to the highest and most exacting quality standards in the industry. Throughout every step of the process, we inspect each ring, beginning with the initial design and continuing to the moment before it is placed in our salon’s case. Our quality assurance professionals painstakingly pore over each ring, ensuring that it has been flawlessly crafted.

Instilled in every Harry Winston diamond is an incredible sense of pride, grounded in decades of experience and tradition.

Thanks to Gilles Dyan’s innovative approach and unique insight, the gallery has become an incubator where emerging and established artists coexist. Under his direction, the collection has grown to include over 100 international artists, turning Opera Gallery into one of the world’s most diverse and eclectic collections.

With this new gallery, Gilles Dyan wishes for the New York venue, “located ‘ in the heart of art ’ on Madison Avenue, to become the banner of this unique, global approach to collecting art, where sheer pleasure and keen investments meet”.

The group’s fervent interest in diversity fosters the most interesting artistic encounters. Its commitment is to build relationships of trust with partners who share the same desire to bring clients the highest quality of luxury services to their clients.

Jitrois emphasizes the relationship between the skin and the fabric. All of jitrois designs are

infused with cotton and lycra which allows our garments to fit closely to the body and allows for breathability.

The ability to emulate strength and sensuality is a true testimate of Creative Director, Jean Claude jitrois’s work. While highlighting his inspiration to his work, Jean-Claude challenges the vision of strong women and gender empowement.

Working as a creative studio, Jitrois collaborate and work with artists, filmmakers and musicians to showcase the importance of its DNA. Jitrois has gained a very large celebrity following which consists of Heidi Klum, Jennifer Lopez, Kim Kardashion, Tracey Morgan, Nicole Scherzinger, GiGi Hadid, and many more.”

New York has been known as the global hub for cosmetic dentistry for the international community since the emergence of smile makeovers. Between 60,000 to 80,000 patients travel to New York and other American Cities for advanced dental treatment from other countries annually. Most of the patients are from the Middle East and South America.

Dr. Lee Gause is going against the tradewinds to bring amazing dental services to people in far away places, rather than forcing patients to travel to far away continents for care. Although he is 90% in New York at his posh dental practice Smile Design Manhattan recent demand in places as far as Kazakstan, or Dubai have caused Dr. Gause to take his dental team and expertise “on the road.� Although initially, it may not seem worth it to take a 20 hour flight to see patients halfway across the globe, the extreme need for beautiful and healthy smiles and scarcity of advanced cosmetic dental service globally has both Dr. Gause and his international patients smiling.
