And indeed, when Winston Candy was launched at a private client event in London earlier this month, staff were on hand to stuff strawberries ‘n’ creams and cola cubes into boxes hand-personalised with guests’ names. Huge cuts of aquamarine, spessarite garnet, red spinel, Paraiba tourmaline and pink sapphire perfectly evoke the lip-smacking candies piled into glass jars in sweet shops of days gone by. The gems in Winston Candy, however, are far more adventurous. Harry Winston is famed for its diamonds, and has worked with that classic coloured gemstone trio of blue sapphires, rubies and emeralds many times in the past. What also sets Winston Candy apart in the brand’s repertoire is the choice of gemstones for the cocktail rings’ central stones. Harry Winston’s Winston Candy collection beautifully clashes sweet-coloured gems Winston Candy is a saccharine celebration of colour and exquisite rare gemstones, and is the first Harry Winston collection dedicated solely to cocktail rings – another nod to the decades that produced the sketches, when this big and bold jewel was the accessory to wear at parties. Sketches of wild and colourful jewels etched out in the 1950s and 1960s were recently uncovered in the Harry Winston archives, and have led to the creation of the American jewellery house’s latest collection, Winston Candy. The Swinging Sixties was a time of pop art and swirling psychedelia, and though his moniker The King of Diamonds led Harry Winston down a more achromatic path, he was not immune to the fever of the times.
