The World Famous Patiala Necklace Created by Cartier for Maharaja







"The Patiala Necklace is perhaps one of those rare treasures that is truly a symbol of an era in which royalty was taking its last breath.

It was commissioned by the Maharaja of Patiala, Sir Bhupinder Singh. He happens to be the grandfather of Capt. Amarinder Singh, former Chief Minister of Punjab.

The story goes that the Maharaja went to Cartier's one morning with a chest, opened it and asked them to create a neckace for him using all the stones in it. That chest was overflowing with various precious stones which later formed the Patiala Necklace. A necklace so maginificent in its beauty that Cartier requested it to be displayed before the Maharaja took it to India. However, this neckalce was mysteriously lost in 1948 and reapppeared in 1998, 50 years later in London."

Very nice thread. If I come across any nice pic of Indian royalty, I will surely post it in here. Keep up the good work.

Can someone tell how much of the Mongol genes were absorbed by the Indian royalties? Or were the Mongols racist and only ruled India for themselves and separately from the subjugated Indians? Please enlighten me. Thanks.

Anita Delgado Maharani Prem Kumari she was a Spanish Flamingo dancer married to Maharaja Sir Jagatjit Singh Bahadur of Kapurthala







They wanted to make a movie about her with Penelope cruz but the royal family of kapurthala were against it

hehe alright. I was caught off guard because his children's names sound Tibetan or Chinese. He also kind of looks Tibetan.

Prince Wanchuk and Princess Yang Chen <-- are these typical Indian names? LOL! Oh well. I guess I've learned something new today.

Not typical but probably on North Eastern parts of India i agree the names do sound chinese and Tibetan

Interesting. Any info. about the status of the movie ?

Sikkim is a state in Northeast India which borders with Tibet. The guy in the picture was Sri Panch Chempo Palden Thondup Namgyal, the Maharaja of Sikkim. I'm not sure if he has Tibetan origins, but he had a Tibetan wife, who he had three kids with called Tenzing, Wangchuk and Yangchen. After his first wife died, he then married an American woman and had two more kids with her called Hope and Palden, who then succeeded him as the next Maharaja of Sikkim.
