Note du spécialiste

The Harper's columnist remarks: 'Of an elegance compatible with the gold and onyx bull-heads of antiquity, we have another contemporary necklace, now of diamonds and rubies. Harry Winston, masterly in rendering the heroic, poetic--and the massive resilient--has been provided with the foreleg of a Black Angus bull as background for the necklace: a masssive twist, like a wisteria cluster widening as it droops. Entwined with diamonds, a double row of rubies emerges and crosse--rubies that become gigantic, then disappear before the necklace terminates with one tapered, exactly vertical diamond.' (Quoted in Hall-Duncan, The History of Fashion Photography, p.165)
