400 year old "Beau Sancy" Diamond Sells for 9.7 Million!
History
"[For the event, Marie Antoinette] abandoned her more personal whims of style for the time-honored conventions of queenly pomp. For the formal procession and the religious services on May 4th, 1789, she settled on a lustrous cloth-of-silver gown, which viewed beside Louis XVIs resplendent cloth-of-gold jacket, would cast her as the moon to the Kings sun. both she and Louis XVI would emphasize the Bourbon gloire by wearing the most precious white diamonds in the crowns collection. her husband would wear the so-called Pitt or Regent diamond affixed to his hat, while Marie Antoinette would [wear] the legendarily flawless Sancy diamond."
-In The Queens Fashion: What Marie Antoinette Wore to the Revolution, Caroline Weber examines the queens choices for fashion on May 4, during the opening of the Estates General
I just checked it up, there are two stones, this one, the beau Sancy, and another, called simply 'Sancy'. The Sancy is the one worn by Marie Antoinette, which had came into the hands of Louis XIV. The Sancy was thus domiciled in France but disappeared during the French Revolution when brigands raided the Garde Meuble (Royal Treasury). As well as the Sancy, other treasures stolen were the Regent diamond, and the French Blue diamond which is known today as the Hope diamond.
