During the filming of the movie Ocean’s 8, Anne Hathaway was seen wearing an elegant Bulgari necklace that resembled the Jeanne Toussaint necklace. The actress and her costume designers were inspired by the necklace and decided to adapt it to fit her character.
A tribute to Jeanne Toussaint

During the 1930s, Cartier’s Creative Director Jeanne Toussaint played a key role in the brand’s development, especially when it came to setting the style of the company. As a lover of Indian style, Toussaint drew inspiration from the splendor of Maharajas to create her designs. A woman of great spirit and dynamism, she was the first to make Cartier a standout brand in the world of jewelry. She was also the first to create a piece of jewelry named after the brand, and today the Jeanne Toussaint necklace has become Cartier’s crown jewel.
In the movie Ocean’s 8, the Toussaint necklace plays an integral role in the story. It is worn by Anne Hathaway’s character, Daphne Kluger. A group of women – including Daphne, Sandra Bullock’s character, Debbie Ocean, and Mindy Kaling’s character, Rose – come together to rob the jewelry store where the Toussaint necklace is kept. Cartier played a crucial role in creating the necklace, providing the crown jewel that Anne Hathaway wears in the film. Cartier had the opportunity to create the necklace as a tribute to its former Creative Director, Jeanne Toussaint, who had a profound influence on the company’s style.
The original necklace was designed by Jacques Cartier in 1931 for the Maharaja of Nawanagar, India. The piece was described as the “finest cascade of coloured diamonds in the world.” The necklace was created for a man, but it was altered to fit Anne Hathaway’s measurements. It was then resized and flown to New York for filming. It is only 20% to 15% smaller than the original size.
Cartier’s historical archives have photographs of the jewel’s original owner, and the company has been able to re-create the necklace from these photos. After finding the perfect piece, the company contacted its high jewellery workshops in Paris, which worked for eight weeks to create the necklace. They adapted the design to Hathaway’s size, and dismountable bezels were also devised to allow the necklace to be adjusted to fit Hathaway’s neck.
The Cartier Toussaint necklace is now on display in a special exhibition at Cartier’s Fifth Avenue Mansion in New York. The exhibition, which opened on May 1, features the original necklace and other pieces from the jeweler’s collection. A cape, a dress, and a pair of earrings, are also on display. In addition, a Cartier Panthere watch and a pair of earrings are available for sale at the Cartier boutique in South Coast Plaza.
The Cartier jewelry collection was adapted for the movie, and several pieces were loaned to the actresses making cameos. The company has always had a passion for women’s empowerment, and this project is a continuation of that legacy. The company has also been a long-time partner of the motion picture industry. This has led to a relationship that dates back to 1926.
Adapting the Jeanne Toussaint necklace to fit Anne Hathaway’s character

Adapting the Jeanne Toussaint necklace to fit Anne Hathaway’s character is a feat in itself. The necklace is a tribute to the former Cartier creative director, who was an integral part of shaping Cartier’s style during the 1930s. It is made of white gold, which is set with zirconium oxide, a natural material that combines the sparkle of diamonds with the durability of white gold.
When Anne Hathaway tried on the Toussaint necklace in New York, it was a perfect fit. The necklace was custom-made by Cartier to suit her measurements. The necklace was adjusted to fit Hathaway’s neck, and dismountable bezels were incorporated into the design. The necklace was then flown to New York for filming. The original necklace was made for a man, but was resized to fit Hathaway, who is petite.
The necklace’s genesis lies in 1931, when Cartier’s creative director Jacques Cartier designed the original necklace for the Maharaja of Nawanagar. The necklace was crafted from white gold, with coloured diamonds replaced with zirconium oxide. In its heyday, the Toussaint necklace was considered the most beautiful cascade of coloured diamonds in the world. The original necklace included the Queen of Holland diamond. The heist drama Ocean’s 8 takes its cue from the necklace, and the diamonds in it are the centerpiece of the heist.
To create the necklace, Cartier had to work with its High Jewellery workshops in Paris and New York. They used original drawings and photographs to create the necklace, which they resized to fit Hathaway’s neck. The process took eight weeks, which was a significant feat for the jewelers of Cartier.
The Jeanne Toussaint necklace played a significant role in the plot of Ocean’s 8, so it was no surprise that Cartier turned to its archives for inspiration. To recreate the necklace, the company used sketches, photographs, and other archival documents, as well as its own design drawing.
For the movie, the necklace was resized to fit Anne Hathaway’s neck, and dismountable and moveable bezels were incorporated into the necklace’s design. The necklace’s size was reduced by 15 to 20 percent. This was to ensure it was still large enough to withstand filming, and not so small that it was difficult to wear. The necklace was also set with zirconium oxide, allowing it to sparkle in all directions.
The Jeanne Toussaint diamond necklace is worth approximately US$150 million, making it one of the most expensive pieces of jewellery in the world. Adapting the necklace to fit Hathaway’s neck and sizing it to her measurements were crucial to the production of Ocean’s 8. The original necklace was worn by Audrey Hepburn in How to Steal a Million, and it was sized down to fit her neck and her measurements.
Cartier provided cameos for several of Ocean’s 8’s star-studded cast, including Mindy Kaling, Helena Bonham Carter, and Rihanna. The jewels worn by these stars at the Ocean’s 8 premiere were loaned by the company for their cameo appearances.
Bulgari’s involvement in Ocean’s 8

Besides being a fine watch, Bulgari also partnered with Save the Children to launch a Youth Empowerment Program in Bolivia, one of the world’s most poverty stricken countries. This has been a 10-year collaboration to improve the lives of at-risk children and their mothers. So far, the two organisations have helped over two million children, with the aim of fostering social and economic empowerment. The partnership has also made the big tick by committing to save 50,000 babies and mothers in the process.
Although Bulgari has enjoyed a long-standing relationship with Hollywood, it is arguably the first company to provide an actual piece of jewelery to a Hollywood A-lister. In addition to jewellery creations, the company has also been known to loan diamond pieces to some of the biggest stars in the industry. In fact, the company has lent diamond pieces to Kim Kardashian West and Zayn Malik.
One of the most exciting things about this partnership is that it is a global effort. In the past decade, the world has seen a pronounced drop in child mortality. While this is a positive development, there is still a long way to go before the world can lay claim to being a better place. In order to achieve lasting development, it’s vital to provide young people with the educational opportunities they need to reach their full potential. This is also why Bulgari decided to take a stand.
In order to prove the claim, the company has launched an impressive and innovative campaign. The bulk of the money raised is being used for interventions aimed at the most vulnerable children, with a particular focus on the newborns and mothers of the future. This includes a Youth Empowerment Program in Bolivia, a series of educational programs to help at-risk adolescents gain the skills they need to move on to the next stage of their lives. The company also has a range of other initiatives, such as a high jewellery collection inspired by La Dolce Vita glamour and an award-winning chef who teaches aspiring bakers how to turn out a fine batch of bread.
While the aforementioned collaboration with Save the Children and the release of its Cinemagia high jewellery collection are exciting, it is Bulgari’s commitment to helping save babies and mothers that has the most long-lasting impact. As the world’s leading luxury goods brand, Bulgari has decided to take a stand in the name of global good. In the past year alone, Bulgari has pledged to help save 50,000 babies and mothers. It’s an impressive feat, especially considering the world’s population has exploded by a whopping ten percent. With its help, these children can reach their full potential. The company has also launched the world’s largest ever campaign to fund education and skills development for the world’s most disadvantaged adolescents.
