One of the most opulent pieces of jewelery ever made is the magnificent Patiala Necklace (pictured above), which was part of the largest single commission that the French house of Cartier has ever executed. Completed in 1928 and restored in 2002, this piece of ceremonial jewellery contains 2,930 diamonds and weighs almost one thousand carats.
