The Smithsonian’s National Museum of Natural History has announced that Ronald Winston, eldest son of Harry Winston, is gifting the museum the “Winston Red” diamond as a donation to the Museum. It will be unveiled to the public on April 1, along with the Winston Fancy Colour Diamond Collection, an assemblage of 40-stone coloured diamonds.
The diamonds will be on display in the Winston Gallery, which was named for Harry Winston and houses the Hope Diamond, which the famed diamantaire donated to the museum in 1958, a gift the museum said laid the groundwork for the National Gem & Mineral Collection.
