The company has been very mum about plans, confirming only that the flagship store will undergo a renovation slated for completion by early 2017 and that the retail location will move to a space on Fifth Avenue and 55th Street.
 
Harry Winston founded his namesake jewelry company in 1920 and opened his first store in 1932. Harry’s father, Jacob, started a small jewelry business in the US after he immigrated to the country from Ukraine with Harry’s mother. Harry worked in his father’s shop as a child, and he experienced jewelry value appreciation firsthand at the age of 12 when he bought a two-carat emerald for 25 cents and sold it for $800 two days later.

The founder opened the Fifth Avenue flagship store in 1960, and currently the company operates 39 US salons in New York, Beverly Hills, Las Vegas, Dallas, Honolulu, Bal Harbour, Chicago, Costa Mesa, and in other countries around the world.
