Harry Winston has opened its first retail salon in Houston in the US. Located in the luxurious River Oaks District, the new salon will showcase the breadth of Harry Winston’s exquisite fine jewellery and timepiece collections, including the rarest diamonds and gemstones available today.

“River Oaks is a prestigious shopping destination, with a sophisticated retail network that we are incredibly excited to be a part of,” said Nayla Hayek, CEO of Harry Winston. “With this opening, we are proud to bring our renowned heritage and extraordinary designs to the city of Houston for the very first time. Harry Winston has a long history of opening salons in the most sought-after locations around the world and we could not have imagined a more fitting backdrop to continue this tradition than the exquisite open-air River Oaks District.”

Designed to capture the elegance and intimacy of a private estate, the salon reflects a contemporary variation on the traditional Winston style. A soft taupe and grey color palette complements the custom designed black lacquer and antique bronze furniture, with bespoke chandeliers, hand-beaded silk walls and antique accents. Dedicated areas for Harry Winston’s high jewellery, bridal, timepiece and fine jewellery collections, ensure clients receive the discreet and highly personalised shopping experience that the house is known for, while private selling rooms provide a luxurious space for the ultimate in exclusivity.

Founded in New York City in 1932, Harry Winston continues to set the standard for the ultimate in fine jewellery and high-end watch making. From the acquisition of some of the world’s most famous gemstones, including the Jonker, Hope and Winston legacy diamonds, to adorning Hollywood’s leading ladies on the red carpet, for over eight decades, Harry Winston has been a symbol of the best there is. Headquartered in New York, the company operates retail salons in New York, Beverly Hills, London, Paris, Genève, Tokyo, Hong Kong and Shanghai.
