“Ocean’s 8” Necklace that is Fit for Royalty

One magnificent piece of famous jewelry is at the heart of the Ocean’s 8 Gala heist, worn by Anne Hathaway. The necklace features gigantic diamonds set in white gold, that exude charm and brilliance. The necklace was originally designed in the year 1931 for the Maharaja of Nawanagar. It was then reduced in size by 15%-20 % to adjust Anne Hathaway’s neck measurements because the necklace was made for a man. This necklace was named “Jeanne Toussaint” as a tribute to the bold and creative director responsible for Cartier's identity and style throughout the 1930s.

Those who read the book know that despite “not being a hearts and flowers kind of man,” Christian Grey still covers the room with what else other than hearts and flowers, quite literally!
