Who Is Emma Chamberlain? Influencer Bashed For Wearing Maharaja Of Patiala's Choker

Who is Emma Chamberlain? The ambassador of Cartier, which is a jeweller and watchmaker brand since 1847, Emma Chamberlain chose to wear a Louis Vuitton dress to the Met Gala on May 2. Along with that, she wore a piece of jewellery which belonged to an Indian Maharaja. For this, she was criticised online.

The choker worn by Chamberlain belonged to the Maharaja of Patiala Bhupinder Singh. It was made in 1928 after Maharaja decided to make an heirloom choker out of his De Beers diamond, which was the 7th largest in the world, at the time. It was commissioned to Cartier. The piece of jewellery had 2,930 diamonds and Burmese rubies.

The evaluation of the jewellery totalled up to $30 million in today's market. The netizens criticised Chamberlain on the basis that the jewellery had gone missing in 1948. Bela Lugosi wrote, "The height of goods on the global stage. Jewels stolen from Panjab resurface at the Met Gala in NY. The fate of the Maharaja of Patiala's Cartier Diamond Choker is unknown, but it was likely sold and reacquired by Cartier at a later date. So, news just broke out that Emma Chamberlain wore the maharaja of Patiala's Cartier diamond, and as someone both sikh and punjabi, it doesn't sit right with me. It was stolen, "re-acquired" by Cartier, sure."
