Known as “The King of Diamonds,” Harry Winston (1896-1978) founded his company at the age of 24 in New York City, buying and cutting world-famous gems, such as the Jonker and Taylor-Burton diamonds. He was also the last owner of The Hope Diamond, which he famously donated to the Smithsonian in Washington, D.C. His jewelry is known as exceptionally high-quality to this day, with stores in every major city around the world.
