Harry Winston showcases its ‘Winston Autumn’ collection in Shanghai.

Ring showcasing a stunning 80.07ct radiant-cut yellow diamond, priced at US$12.77 million, is the star of the collection

Harry Winston unveiled its latest high jewellery collection, the “Winston Autumn”, in Shanghai’s historic Zhujiajiao water town in September.

Autumn is the inspiration for the collection, from the changing colour of the leaves (from green to yellow) to the warm autumnal sunlight and a cool, pleasant breeze, so it is no surprise that it is yellow diamonds that reflect the theme.

The preview took place at the Ahnluh Zhujiajiao, a 600-year-old courthouse that is now a luxury hotel. The venue, which dates back to the Ming dynasty, retains its “Wu Feng Lou” style architecture and Old World glamour, from the sophisticated Five Phoenixes hall to the grand Old Qing Dynasty Theatre.
