The unforgettable “Jeanne Toussaint”
necklace Hathaway’s character is seen wearing.
Borrowing its design from a 1931 necklace
thatwascreatedfortheMaharajaof
Nawanagar (a necklace that once bore the
splendorous 136.25-carat blue-white Queen
of Holland diamond), the replica took
Cartier’s High Jewellery workshops eight
weeks to complete through the help of
archival design drawings and photographs. But of course, while the necklace is the
clear star of the ilm’s jewel cast, Cartier’s other creations have lots of screen time too.

that comes with each gem.
However, when it comes to jade,
things are not quite as clear-cut.
Unless you’re an expert on the
valuable stone and how it’s
graded, it’s best you head to a
reputable jeweller that you can
trust for your jade needs. Even
better? When the jeweller ofers
designs that present the
traditional stone in a new,
contemporary light. Enter local
jeweller Choo Yilin, who was one
of the first on our shores to show
how hip jade can be, while
garnering a name for herself,
locally and abroad, with alluring
jewellery that celebrate local and
Asian cultures—like Japan’s
beloved cherry blossoms, as
shown in the pieces here.

For its latest “Métiers Rares” collection,
Jaeger-LeCoultre commemorates the

of eight pieces each. Hodler, one of
the 19th century’s best-known Swiss

three of which have been chosen for
this series and rendered on the case
through grand feu enamel (each took over
50 hours to complete).
