History Of Diamond
The Sancy, a yellow diamond of 55.23 carats, was once
supposed to have belonged to the Great Moguls of remains, but is more likely
of Indian derivation owing to its cut which is extraordinary by Western standards.
The shield shaped stone encompass two back-to-back, other than lacks any appearance to a pavilion.
Charles I, son of James I, was beheaded as well as his widow, Henrietta Maria, to be
had the jewel to Somerset, the Earl of Worcester, as of whom it passed afresh to the
English Crown. James II later own it, however he lost it in the catastrophic fight of
the Boyne and flee to France. Even though Louis XIV was a enjoyable and kind host to
James, shabby, sorrowful, exile kings bored him.
The Sancy's recognized history began circa 1570 in Constantinople when acquired by
Nicholas Harlai, Seigneur de Sancy. Sancy used
his familiarity to wealthy advantage. Myths and legends bound the stone. It is of
hard to believe value. The Sancy Diamond has been owned by some great Kings and
Queens and seen the events of both the English Civil War as well as the French
rebellion.
