Meanwhile, the Vintage Gallery will present landmark creations from the House’s archives. A dedicated section will also highlight Harry Winston’s longstanding connection with China, as 2026 marks the 30th anniversary of the House’s first exhibition at the Palace Museum in Beijing’s Forbidden City.
Additional galleries will explore Harry Winston’s signature design language, including the evolution of the iconic Winston Cluster, the House’s exceptional craftsmanship, and its celebrated diamond jewels created for life’s most meaningful occasions.
From New York Inspiration to One-of-a-Kind Masterpieces

Throughout the exhibition, guests will discover how the House continues to transform rare gemstones into timeless works of art through exceptional design and meticulous craftsmanship.
The Winston Pink Legacy Diamond Takes Center Stage
At the heart of the exhibition is the legendary Winston Pink Legacy Diamond, one of the world’s most remarkable colored diamonds.
The extraordinary 18.96-carat fancy vivid pink diamond carries a special connection to Harry Winston, as its carat weight reflects the year Mr. Harry Winston was born. Its exceptional size, rarity, and vivid pink color make it one of the most celebrated diamonds in the world.
For the first time, the House will bring this extraordinary gemstone to Shanghai, offering visitors a rare opportunity to experience one of its most treasured creations.
Another highlight is the Rockefeller-Winston Emerald, an impressive 18.03-carat emerald originally associated with the renowned Rockefeller family. After being transformed by Harry Winston artisans, the gemstone was set into a distinctive Winston-style ring featuring elegant diamond accents.
