Bedecked in Harry Winston Jewelry

Passmoore, Works Of Alexander & I.V.

Harry Winston jewelry has always captivated me. One day, I met someone in Montauk, Long Island, who told me stories about his life and how he worked with those precious diamonds. He would scatter them across a table. Diamonds can be troublesome, however, as The Eustace Diamonds by Anthony Trollope, makes clear... "...There was nothing illegal in travelling about with a heavy iron box full of diamonds, and the risk would be less this way, she thought, than were she to leave them behind her in London. The house in Mount Street, which she had taken for the season, was to be given up; and whom could she trust in London? Her very bankers, she feared, would have betrayed her, and given up her treasure to Mr. Camperdown. As for Messrs. Harter & Benjamin, she felt sure that they would be bribed by Mr. Camperdown. She once thought of asking her cousin to take the charge of them, but she could not bring herself to let them out of her own hands. Ten thousand pounds! If she could only sell them and get the money, from what a world of trouble would she be relieved. And the sale, for another reason, would have been convenient; for Lady Eustace was already a little in debt. But she could not sell them, and therefore when she got into the carriage there was the box under her feet."
