This story is told of Harry Winston, who was one of the world\u2019s greatest jewel merchants. One day he watched one of his salesmen show a beautiful diamond to a rich Dutch merchant. The customer listened thoughtfully to the expert description, but he eventually turned away, saying, \u201cIt\u2019s a wonderful stone, but not exactly what I want.\u201d<\/p>\n
Winston stopped the customer on his way out and asked, \u201cDo you mind if I show you that diamond once more?\u201d The merchant agreed. Winston took the stone in his hand.
