The Royal Indian Necklace Stealing Hollywood Hearts

There is an air of anticipation around with film buffs awaiting the release of the Ocean's 8.  With a cast featuring top female stars, the film, according to critics is just what Hollywood has been waiting for and everyone is going gaga over the unique Indian connection.

 

Sharing the limelight is the ‘The Jeanne Toussaint’ necklace recreated by Cartier especially for the film. The spectacular historic piece celebrates the sparkling strength of bold and fearless women of today.

 

Designed by Jacques Cartier in 1931 for the Maharaja of Nawanagar, the neckpiece had to be recreated using sketches and old photographs to fit the neck of a woman. The original necklace featured 136.25 carat 'Queen of Holland' Diamond described as a 'Cascade Of Coloured Diamonds.'

 

Sadly, the necklace as Real and Rare is it is no longer exists in its original form. It was dismantled and its diamonds used to create other pieces making it a beautiful story indeed. It’s no wonder that the necklace was chosen to be the centre of the Ocean’s 8 plot.

 

Full of lustrous diamonds and high- fashion this is a movie you definitely wouldn’t want to miss.
