Patiala Maharaja's 'stolen' Choker Resurfaces At Met Gala 2022: Here's All You Need To Know

At this year's Met Gala red carpet several celebs were seen wearing some iconic pieces of clothing or accessories important in history staying true to the 'In America: An Anthology of Fashion' theme.

Cartier Jewel's latest brand ambassador, YouTuber Emma Chamberlain, shook her head at the 2022 Met Gala wearing a Cartier choker and headband. Emma Chamberlain went platinum blonde for the Met Gala 2022, sporting a beige-coloured corset, white skirt and a statement choker.

She wore a Louis Vuitton dress for the occasion and donned bejewelled diamond pieces including a tiara and apparently the iconic Maharaja of Patiala's choker as well.

In 1928, Patiala's Maharaja decided to turn the world's seventh-largest diamond, the De Beers diamond, into a necklace. He hired Cartier to make a necklace. The necklace mysteriously disappeared after his son Maharaja Yadavindra Singh last wore it in 1948.

It was known as the famous Patiala necklace. It reappeared in London and disappeared for some time before being "buy-back" by Cartier. However, at some point, the claim that the choker was "stolen" has not been substantiated.

When Emma Chamberlain's Met Gala photos were distributed online, netizens said that Chamberlain wearing such an important jewel was even ruder than Kim Kardashian in Marilyn Monroe's dress.

The buzz for the Patiala Necklace left the netizens commenting about it. The opinions on social media said that a descendant of Patiala's Maharaja should be wearing the choker and not "some white youtube girl borrowing this at some fashion event."
