But more than her clothes and tiara, her Patiala neck chokerpiece caught everyone’s attention. It is being claimed that this neckpiece is not of Emma but of Maharaja Bhupinder Singh of Patiala in Punjab. Due to this the Indian people are furious.

Talking about the history of this necklace, in 1928, Maharaja Bhupinder Singh of Patiala had DeBeers Diamond. He ordered Cartier to make a necklace.

But the necklace suddenly disappeared after his son Maharaja Yadwinder Singh wore it in 1948. Which was recovered 50 years later by Eric Nussbaum, a representative of Cartier. Although these were just skeltons of the neckpiece. It did not have De Beers Stones and Burmese Rubies. So Cartiz planned to reassemble the necklace without the De Beers and other original stones.

Now when people saw Emma in this diamond necklace at the Met Gala, there was a discussion on social media. It was claimed that this is the necklace of Maharaja Bhupinder Singh of Patiala. Emma is the brand ambassador of Cartier and she wore this jewelery to the Met Gala. Seeing Emma in the historic necklace, Indian users on Twitter started scolding Emma. One user said that this diamond is ours and it should be returned to us. Another user wrote, ‘Thanks Cartier. This is the jewelery of the Maharaja of Patiala. This is jewelery stolen from our country, not fancy jewelery to be given to celebrities to wear. This is a gross insult.’
