Winston Takes the Web

(NEW YORK) Dreaming of diamonds but can't make a physical trip to one of Harry Winston's 18 U.S. store locations? The iconic luxury brand has just announced the opening of its online salon, marking the first time the jewelry will be available for purchase via the internet. "The Harry Winston Online Salon is an exciting step in our retail development plan," said Thomas J. O'Neill, chief executive officer of Harry Winston, Inc. "Designed to showcase our signature diamond jewelry collections, the new Online Salon will offer a discreet and highly personalized experience for customers who prefer the convenience of online shopping." Discreet for those suffering from recession guilt, perhaps? Currently, the collection ships within the continental United States.
