India connect in Ocean 8

While there is an air of anticipation around with film buffs awaiting the release of the Ocean's 8, Indians can also look forward to a unique shared connection. Hogging the limelight is The Jeanne Toussaint necklace recreated by Cartier especially for the film.

Initially 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 no longer exists in its original form. It was dismantled and its diamonds used to create other pieces making it a beautiful story indeed. Full of lustrous diamonds and high-fashion, this is a movie you definitely wouldn’t want to miss.
