Patiala's necklace 31 July 2024

Have you ever heard of Patiala's necklace?

This diamond piece was created by the Cartier jewelry house for Indian Maharaja Bhupinder Singh in 1928.

Made from Platinum and 2,930 diamonds, it included unique stones, including the 234.6-karat De Beers Diamond.

In 1948, the necklace disappeared, and its fragments began to be sold in parts.

In 1998, Cartier discovered part of the necklace, bought it back, and restored the jewelry, replacing the lost stones with Cubic Zirconia and laboratory diamonds.

The cost of the restored necklace is estimated at 3 30 million.
