CARTIER Diamond Rose Clip Brooch | Princess Margaret of England Great Britain Countess Snowdon| Royal Jewel History The Cartier Diamond Rose Clip Brooch A Gift from the Shipbuilders of Tyneside On a crisp November morning in 1951, Princess Margaret, the younger sister of Queen Elizabeth II, arrived in Newcastle to perform a time-honored royal duty: the launching of a ship. The vessel, the Maori, was a 7,000-ton passenger ship built for the Union Steamship Company of New Zealand at Vickers Armstrong’s naval yard in Walker-on-Tyne. The occasion was steeped in symbolism, as the slipway from which the Maori was launched was the same one where her father, King George VI, had christened the battleship King George V in 1939. Princess Margaret, then just 21 years old, was a vision of elegance in a grey velvet coat trimmed with fur, a scalloped-edge grey hat, and brown suede accessories. As she stepped onto the crimson carpet at the station, thousands of Tynesiders—women outnumbering men five to one—cheered her arrival. The warmth of the crowd moved her deeply, and she later remarked at a luncheon, "I never launched a ship without being deeply moved, and was most deeply moved today on the launching platform by the fact that I stood where, 13 years ago, my father had stood." As a memento of the occasion, the builders presented her with a dazzling diamond spray in the form of a rose. This exquisite piece, crafted by Cartier London in 1938, featured a three-dimensional pavé-set rose in full bloom, accompanied by openwork leaves and a stem set with baguette, single, and circular-cut diamonds. The brooch, measuring 7.0 cm in height, was a masterpiece of the flower design, housed in a red leather Cartier case. A Royal Jewel on the World Stage Princess Margaret’s first public appearance wearing the Cartier Diamond Rose Clip Brooch was in January 1953, during the wedding to the Earl of Dalkeith, former boy friend at Edinburgh Scotland on January 10th. The groom was the son and heir of the Duke and Duchess of Buccleuch, see above left on top the small picture. But it was on June 2, 1953, that the brooch took its place in history. On that day, Princess Margaret wore it to the coronation of her sister, Queen Elizabeth II, at Westminster Abbey. The brooch, pinned to her elegant ensemble, sparkled under the gaze of the world, symbolizing both her royal status and her personal connection to the shipbuilders of Tyneside. The Princess wore the brooch frequently throughout her life, making it one of her most recognizable pieces. Its delicate design and sentimental value ensured it remained a favorite, whether for formal state occasions or private gatherings. The Legacy of the Diamond Rose In 2006, the Cartier Diamond Rose Clip Brooch was sold as part of Princess Margaret’s personal jewelry collection, marking the end of its royal journey. Yet, its story lives on as a testament to the intersection of craftsmanship, history, and royal tradition.   Today, the Cartier Diamond Rose Clip Brooch remains a symbol of timeless elegance, a piece that once graced the wardrobe of one of Britain’s most stylish royals and continues to captivate those who appreciate the artistry and history behind royal jewels.   TYNESIDE PRINCESS Ceremony at Naval Shipyard THOUSANDS of people cheered Princess Margaret when she arrived at Newcastle to-day to perform the naming ceremony at the launching of the passenger ship Maori (7,000 tons) from Vickers Armstrong’s naval yard at Walker-on-Tyne.
