When history gets around your neck
Margot Robbie not only arrived at the premiere of Wuthering Heights. It came loaded with centuries of romantic history, Mughal tragedy and an era-defining Hollywood love. And everything hung from his neck.
The object of desire: the iconic heart-shaped Taj Mahal diamond. Yes, the same one that Richard Burton gave to Elizabeth Taylor for her 40th birthday. The piece is a legend with legs… or rather, with a gold and ruby chain.
“Love is eternal”
That is the Persian inscription on the gem. It was originally a gift from the Mughal emperor Shah Jahangir to his wife, Nur Jahan. It passed through generations, found its way to the wife of the builder of the real Taj Mahal (hence the name), and, centuries later, ended up on Liz Taylor’s neck.
Now, on Robbie’s neck to promote a story of obsessive and destructive love. Chance? In Hollywood, nothing is.
More than a shiny stone
The jewel is a character in itself. Cartier transformed it from the original silk lace to this masterpiece with rubies and tassels. In 1972, Michael Thomas de Cartier showed it casually to Burton and Taylor in a hotel. Burton was looking for ideas for Valentine’s Day and Liz’s birthday.
He bought the diamond secretly and surprised her at her 40th birthday party in Budapest. A gesture as great as their stormy relationship.
Robbie wore it alongside Jacob Elordi, his on-screen Heathcliff. The chemistry on the red carpet was already generating a stir online. The necklace only added more layers to a night where current glamor met the romantic ghosts of the past.
Emerald Fennell directs this new version of Wuthering Heights, set on the Yorkshire moors. Explore that wild love full of jealousy and revenge that connects so much with the story behind the diamond.
In the end, Robbie wasn’t wearing an accessory. He carried a statement. A piece of history that screams passion, loss and legend. Perfect for a night about burning loves.
