Fifth Avenue
In the late 19th century, between 59th and 96th Streets, an abundance of mansions were built along
Fifth Avenue, giving it the nickname, “Millionaire’s Row.” Architecturally, many of these mansions
featured tapered triangular tops, with grand windows that peered out onto Central Park. The collection’s
Ruby and Diamond necklace and earrings evoke the geometric silhouette of these incredible homes and
demonstrate the fluidity of Harry Winston’s incredible gem-setting expertise.
With nine museums in a little over one mile, Fifth Avenue is a cultural hub that provides New Yorkers
and its visitors alike unprecedented access to some of the greatest works in the world. One of these
incredible cultural institutions is the Metropolitan Museum of Art, which is a structural masterpiece unto
itself. The Crossover Diamond suite recalls the museum’s grand Fifth Avenue entryway, with an array of
round brilliant, marquise-shaped and carefully calibrated baguette diamonds that are meticulously set in a
symmetrical medley of geometric shapes and angular forms.
