During a stay at the Taj Mahal Hotel in Bombay in the 1940s, Maharaja Yadavindra Singh sold the sarpech to the Gazdar's Jewellers, the luxury jewellery firm in the arcade of the hotel from whom the current vendor purchased it. Published: Content, D.J., Ruby, Sapphire & Spinel: An Archaeological, Textual and Cultural Study, Brepols Publishers, Turnhout Belgium, 2016, no. 93 Maharaja Bhupinder Singh (1891-1938) ruled the state of Patiala from 1900-1938. Well known for his love of luxury and extravagant lifestyle, he inherited from his father some of the most fabulous jewels of the time including the De Beers yellow diamond of over 234 carats, later mounted by Cartier in the famous Patiala Necklace which cost $25 million in 1926. The Christie's New York sale of Sheikh Al-Thani's collection of jewellery and jewelled objects from India, Maharajas and Mughal Magnificence, included part of another famous ruby, diamond and pearl necklace that Cartier produced for the Maharaja and considered by the firm to be one of the most important necklaces ever made (Christie's New York, June 19th, 2019, Lot 272).
