EDITORS COMMENTS
In this striking photograph, Lady Astor, the renowned British politician and socialite, is seen arriving for the opening of Parliament in 1948, donning a magnificent Cartier tiara adorned with the historic Sancy diamond. Lady Astor, who represented the Sutton Division of Plymouth in the House of Commons from 1919 to 1945, exuded elegance and authority as she made her way through the bustling crowds. The Cartier tiara, a breathtaking piece of jewellery, was a fitting accessory for Lady Astor's important role in British politics. The tiara, which dates back to 1935, is a testament to the rich history of the Sancy diamond, a gemstone that has captivated the world for centuries. The Sancy diamond, a pear-shaped diamond of approximately 55.23 carats, is believed to have been part of the French Crown Jewels in the 16th century. It was reputedly worn by Charles the Bold, Duke of Burgundy, at the Battle of Nancy in 1477. The diamond later passed through the hands of other notable figures, including Elizabeth I, James I, and Marie Antoinette, before being acquired by Cartier in the early 20th century. Lady Astor's decision to wear the Cartier tiara with the Sancy diamond for the opening of Parliament was a bold and elegant statement. The historic gemstone added an air of regality and prestige to her appearance, reflecting the rich history and tradition of British politics. This photograph captures a moment in time, showcasing Lady Astor's timeless beauty and her connection to the storied past of the Sancy diamond.
