History has it that diamond necklaces have always been considered as the best gift for your lady love and also as a status symbol. After all who can forget the controversial Affair of the Diamond Necklace?

Here’s the story in a nutshell –

In 1772, Louis XV of France planned to make a diamond necklace for Madame du Barry, with whom he was infatuated. It was being planned to be made by the Parisian Jewelers for an estimated cost of 2 million Livres. However in the mean time, Louis XV died and du Barry was banished from the court by Lois XVI; and now there was no one to buy the necklace.
