There is an air of anticipation around with film buffs awaiting the release of the Ocean’s 8 over the unique Indian necklace. Designed by Jacques Cartier in 1931 for the Maharaja of Nawanagar, the neckpiece was recreated using sketches and old photographs to fit the neck of a woman. Sharing the limelight is the ‘The Jeanne Toussaint’ necklace recreated by Cartier especially for the film.
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 no longer exists in its original form. It was dismantled and its diamonds used to create other pieces making it a beautiful story indeed. The spectacular historic piece celebrates the sparkling strength of bold and fearless women of today.
It’s no wonder that the necklace full of lustrous diamonds and high- fashion was chosen to be the centre of the Ocean’s 8 plot.
