Going to go look at an open house this afternoon. It’s a competitive market here. I’m thinking this just might tip the ⚖️ in my favor. Thoughts? 😎#OnSaturdaysWeWearBigDiamonds RePosted • @sothebysjewels Reported to have been initially created in 1767 and passed down generations within the Spencer family, the Spencer Tiara was worn by Lady Diana just over 40 years ago, and turned heads when she stepped into St. Paul's Cathedral in the most highly anticipated Royal wedding of the past century. Its famous garland style design has a central heart-shaped motif set with diamonds flanked by continuous running scrolls, interspersed with star and trumpet-shaped flowers mounted in silver and gold. The heart-shaped piece was particularly sentimental to Lady Diana as her grandmother, Lady Cynthia Hamilton, received it as a wedding present for her 1919 marriage to “Jack”, Viscount Althorp, the future 7th Earl Spencer. Over nearly 200 years – as is often the case in jewellery of this kind – the tiara was added to and transformed until crown jeweller Garrard was commissioned in the 1930s to turn the tiara into the final article. Lady Diana was known to be fond of the Spencer Tiara, often wearing it to white-tie events, sporting the dazzling piece at least seven times between 1983 and 1992 on special occasions during royal tours and high-profile events. It will now be exhibited in London for the first time since the 1960s as a highlight of the UK's largest tiara exhibition in two decades, part of Sotheby's Jubilee in celebration of The Queen's Platinum Jubilee this summer. #SothebysJubilee #SothebysLondon #SothebysJewels #PlatinumJubilee #SpencerTiara https://www.instagram.com/p/CerNCVwpt7N/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
