Following on from our designer section and featured on our back cover
we have lot 372, from the estate of the late Lady Stewart. Mary, Lady
Stewart was a British novelist who popularised the romantic mystery
genre throughout the 1960s and ?70s. She published many fi ction
novels during her career, acquiring a piece of jewellery or objet d?art to
celebrate after each. It was after the release of her most famous work
The Moon-Spinners, that she chose to commission this unique brooch
(Lot 372) from Cartier, London. The piece is an exquisite diamond and
yellow diamond brooch, depicting a yellow diamond crescent moon and
a swirling ribbon of diamonds. This one-of-a-kind piece, not only refl ects
the fi ne craftsmanship and interpretation of the book title by Cartier,
but also the imagination and success of one of Britain?s finest female
novelists.
