Icons of luxury

This October, Whisenhunt Fine Jewelry, founded by Nicole Whisenhunt, presented a five-day exhibition at León Gallery International, Corinthian Plaza, Paseo de Roxas, Legazpi Village, Makati City.

Titled The Heritage Collection: Icons of the Past, the exhibition drew inspiration from cinema’s most iconic jewelry moments. The dazzling collection reimagines distinct eras of elegance — dating back from 1910 to today’s modern sophistication.

The exhibition featured an exquisite lineup of vintage treasures from Bulgari, Tiffany & Co. and Georges L’Enfant, alongside Whisenhunt’s own creations. These pieces reflect not only beauty, but also the cultural and design value that make jewelry a preserved art form.

At the heart of the collection is a rare Hemmerle Torque vintage choker —crafted in 18k gold and platinum, adorned with white and brown diamonds — a true star piece that embodies the mastery celebrated in this exhibition.

As Whisenhunt said, “Through this exhibition, we wanted to show that jewelry stands parallel to art — especially pieces with history, which go far beyond beauty.”

The Heritage Collection: Icons of the Past is a celebration of timeless artistry, honoring the beauty, history and craftsmanship that make every piece a story worth remembering.
