Re: Nancy Astor's tiara with the Sancy Archived Message Posted by LauraM on July 29, 2018, 5:51 am, in reply to "Nancy Astor's tiara with the Sancy" From Munn Tiaras page 330 “A circlet in eighteenth-century French taste in the form of graduated leaves, buds and roses. It was probably made by Cartier and was adapted by Cartier’s outworker Lavabre in 1913 to receive the famous Sancy diamond. In this archive photograph the aperture for the stone can be clearly seen. Since the stone had once been worn by the tragic Queen Marie-Antoinette the style of the tiara was appropriate to the historic provenance of this remarkable diamond.” (CARTIER ARCHIVES, PARIS) Message Thread: Nancy Astor's tiara with the Sancy - Beth July 28, 2018, 5:08 pm Re: Nancy Astor's tiara with the Sancy - LauraM July 29, 2018, 5:51 am Re: Nancy Astor's tiara with the Sancy - Beth July 29, 2018, 7:51 am Re: Nancy Astor's tiara with the Sancy - mauriz July 29, 2018, 8:42 pm Re: Nancy Astor's tiara with the Sancy - mauriz July 29, 2018, 8:39 pm Re: Nancy Astor's tiara with the Sancy - MarcA July 30, 2018, 10:57 am   Searching
