Isha Ambani's Met Gala 2025 necklace is exact replica of Anne Hathaway's Ocean's 8 diamonds; she says they belong to mom Nita Ambani

Isha Ambani was dressed in her finest jewelery at the Met Gala 2025 in New York and netizens couldn't help but notice that Isha's diamond necklace looked strikingly similar to the one worn by Anne Hathaway in the film Ocean's 8. Although, upon finer inspection, one can notice the minute difference in the size of the diamonds, and the number of diamonds in each of the necklaces. But, one can see that both these necklaces were inspired by the original design of Jacques Cartier, who first made the necklace for the Maharaja of Nawanagar in 1931. The royal family of Nawanagar was known for its exquisite collection of jewels and the necklace stayed in the family until 1960, and after that, Cartier bought it back. After Cartier purchased the necklace, it exchanged a few hands and the central diamond was recut, the other diamonds have also been in circulation. The necklace in its original form does not exist anymore. But, during the making of Ocean's 8, Cartier remade the necklace based on the necklace's archival pictures. The size of the necklace was reduced by 15-20 percent, as it had to be worn by Anne Hathaway in the film. The original necklace was designed for a man. In 2018, Vogue reported that the necklace made by Cartier cost around $150 million.
