Harry Winston exec stole my $2 million platinum ring: lawsuit

A Florida woman claims her nearly $2 million Harry Winston emerald and diamond ring was stolen by the same jeweler who sold it to her decades earlier.

Ninotchka Manus, 75, bought the platinum ring — with a pear-shaped emerald surrounded by pear-shaped diamonds — 23 years ago from Harry Winston salesman and executive Max Pincione.

It was valued at $1.95 million in January 2000.

Manus claims Pincione came to her in 2018, claiming he could sell the ring on her behalf.

She believed him “because of their decades-long personal and professional relationship,” and gave him the ring, she said in court papers.

But Pincione allegedly kept the ring instead of selling it, she charges in Manhattan Supreme Court papers.

Manus either wants the ring returned or a refund. Pincione couldn’t be reached for comment.
