EDITORS COMMENTS
In this photograph from the annals of history, three elegant society ladies gracefully pose at the Jewels of Empire Ball, held at the prestigious Grosvenor House Hotel in London during the summer of 1935. The opulence of the era is palpable, as over 3 million pounds worth of priceless jewels adorn the ladies in the form of bracelets, tiaras, necklaces, rings, and clips. These exquisite pieces, lent by the National Jewellers Association, added an air of regal splendor to the grand event. The first lady on the left is Lady Veronica Hornby, who was known for her striking beauty and impeccable style. The second lady, Mrs John Musker, was a prominent figure in society circles, while the third lady, Mrs Charles Sweeny, was once known as Miss Margaret Whigham. She would later become the Duchess of Argyll, adding another layer of intrigue to her already fascinating life. The Jewels of Empire Ball was a highly anticipated event in the social calendar of the 1930s, attracting the crème de la crème of British society. The photograph captures a moment in time when the past meets the present, as these three ladies, bathed in the soft glow of the ballroom, embody the elegance and glamour of a bygone era. This image serves as a reminder of the rich history and tradition that continues to shape our world today.
