Inspiration
Dated to the early 1940s, Winston Cluster is identified as the House's most iconic design motif and was inspired by a snow frosted holly wreath that hung on Harry's own front door.
He and his head designer at the time, Nevdon Koumrouyan, created the design together and revolutionized a manufacturing style defined as "clustering." The result would use minimal platinum and setting thediamonds to appear as
if they were floating and attached to a woman's skin.
