Diamond Choker Controversy
The real owner of the diamond set is the Maharaja from India, Bhupinder Singh of Patiala, Punjab as per the heritage records. The Maharaja of Patiala ordered it from Cartier in 1928 and made out of 2930 diamonds and Burmese rubies.
On the contrary, the extravagant piece included the seventh-largest diamond that went missing from the Patiala Royal Treasury in 1948. Meanwhile, the son of Maharaja, Yadavindra Singh last wore it in 1948.
Reportedly, the missing case resulted from the robbery of British forces who eventually sold the stolen piece back to Cartier.

The finished necklace incorporated some 2,930 diamonds, including the world’s seventh largest diamond ?, the 234.69 carat “De Beers”, along with seven other diamonds which ranged from 18 to 73 carats, and a few Burmese rubies.
Further commenting on its stolen story and selling back by the British, they added,
Twenty years after its completion, this amazing item seems to have disappeared. The likely story is that, over time, the more important stones were removed and sold. Eventually, the “De Beers” reappeared and sold in 1982 for over three million dollars.
