Harry Winston, the Flower of Remembrance
"Forget-me-not" - "ne m'oublie pas" - is the English name for the myosotis. Since the Middle Ages, this delicate little flower carries a strong sentimental charge within it, emblematic of remembrance and romantic fidelity.
Once seen enamelled on Georgian- and Victorian-era medallions and rings, slipped into mourning jewelry as a promise of remembrance: to give a forget-me-not is to promise not to forget. This wildflower is what Harry Winston has chosen to cultivate in his jewelry garden. The motif is not new within the house. Sketches preserved in its archives trace it back to the early 1960s, witnesses to the inspiration that the jeweler's designers draw from the plant world. The Forget-Me-Not collection is one of its most graceful expressions. The silhouette of the forget-me-not is expressed in an assembly of brilliant-, pear-, and marquise-cut stones. Offered in four chromatic variations – diamond, pink sapphire, ruby, or blue sapphire – each hue evokes a different emotion: the freshness of the diamond, the tenderness of the pink sapphire, the ardor of the ruby, the depth of the blue sapphire. This year, pendants and earrings join the collection, adopting the romantic Toi & Moi motif in two corollas mounted side by side. To bring two flowers together is to seal an attachment, a bond, an eternal sentiment. A beautiful way for Harry Winston to remind us that some flowers never fade. /public-objects/754ea139-f7ef-450a-acfe-b12e7f779fe2-6d78c005-a017-40a4-a906-631a7fa5f7e9-Sans%20titre-1.webp Image sélectionnée
