Financial Times: What Sarah Jessica Parker did next

In HTSI, the Financial Times magazine, Lilah Raptopoulos sits down with Sarah Jessica Parker at the Faena Hotel in New York to talk about life, family and lab-grown diamonds. Photographed by Paola Kudacki, the actress wears pieces from the Sarah Jessica Parker Collection by Astrea London, the lab-grown diamond Maison of which she is a shareholder and Global Creative Director.

She recalls that when she first met founder Nathalie Morrison, she saw lab-grown diamonds in a very limited way, before discovering all their potential. Today she no longer separates them from mined stones: “I just see something beautiful.” The interview also explores Astrea's craftsmanship, with diamonds grown to fit each design, such as a 174-carat necklace of D-colour diamonds and freshwater pearls, and a shared ambition: to build a house with a lasting place among the great names of luxury jewellery.
