“People will stare. Make it worth their while.” That was Harry Winston’s mantra. He instinctively understood the power of jewelry and the reason you should never shy from statement-making pieces. And that’s what we’re showcasing this week: three unique offerings that no one will be able to ignore.

Andrew Grima for Omega Winter Sunset Pendant Watch and Master Class with Mahnaz Collection
Image Credit: Courtesy of Mahnaz Collection Insiders call him the Father of Modern Jewelry—though Andrew Grima’s name is now only familiar to true connoisseurs, collectors who grasp the avant-garde artist’s subversive brilliance. Just occasionally, Grima could be tempted to work outside his core focus, as with this Omega timepiece, a handcrafted pendant watch that was a smash hit when it debuted at the peak of the Swinging Sixties. This is The Vault, though, so there’s always something extra special on offer. Read on to find out the unique experience that’s part of this package.

Heart-Shaped Pendant with 1.03-Carat Diamond by Jeweler Jade Trau
Image Credit: Courtesy of Jade Trau Jade Trau was, quite literally, born to be a jeweler: She spent hours as a child sitting by her grandfather as he worked, showcasing his skills as one of Manhattan’s premier gem cutters. It sparked both her love for, and understanding of, diamonds, and she vowed to follow in the family business; she’s the fifth-generation diamantaire. Trau’s as picky with her partners as she is with the stones (only using VS2 clarity and F/G color), so it was only natural that she’d pick The Vault to offer this spectacular necklace.

One-of-a-Kind Custom Shell Cuff Links From Seaman Schepps Plus Evening Set
Image Credit: Courtesy of Seaman Schepps Look over at that bookshelf in your office or den, and you’ll probably see one: a seashell, scavenged on a distant shore and sentimentally, discreetly slipped into a pocket. Humble yet beautiful, shells have a quietly magnetic power. Seaman Schepps understands that all too well, as it’s been turning these ocean castoffs into haute joaillerie for more than 80 years, gilding and soldering them into precious objects. This exclusive from The Vault allows you to treat the firm’s archives like a beachcomber and hand-pick your very own pair to turn into custom cuff links.
