Margot Robbie recently captivated audiences at the world premiere of her film Wuthering Heights, held at the TCL Chinese Theatre in Los Angeles. She chose a breathtaking Schiaparelli couture gown for the occasion, but it was her choice of jewelry that truly stole the show.
Robbie adorned herself with Elizabeth Taylor's iconic Taj Mahal diamond necklace, a historic piece valued at approximately $8 million. The exquisite heart-shaped diamond features a Parsi inscription, "Love is Everlasting," and is linked to Mughal royalty, including Nur Jahan and Shah Jahan. This legendary jewel was gifted to Taylor by her fifth husband, Richard Burton, on her 40th birthday in 1972, marking a significant moment in Hollywood romance.
The necklace's journey includes its acquisition by Cartier in 1971, with a specially designed gold and ruby chain created by Alfred Durante. Richard Burton presented it to Taylor during a layover at Kennedy Airport, later surprising her with it during a lavish celebration for her 40th birthday. Robbie's decision to wear the necklace revived its storied legacy, connecting contemporary glamour with Hollywood's golden age.
