Margot Robbie Revives Elizabeth Taylor’s Taj Mahal Diamond at Wuthering Heights Premiere

The Mughal‑inscribed gem mounted by Cartier before a 2011 Christie’s sale is valued at roughly $8 million.

Overview

  • Robbie wore the Taj Mahal diamond necklace on the red carpet for the film’s world premiere at the TCL Chinese Theatre in Los Angeles.
  • The pear‑shaped stone bears a Persian inscription invoking eternal love, reflecting a 17th‑century Mughal court tradition linked to Shah Jahan and Mumtaz Mahal.
  • The jewel later entered Hollywood history when Richard Burton acquired it in Europe and presented it to Elizabeth Taylor.
  • Cartier integrated the historic diamond into a mogul‑inspired setting with rubies and emeralds, and the piece was offered by Christie’s in 2011.
  • Recent coverage places the necklace’s value around $8–8.8 million, as Robbie styled it with a Schiaparelli haute couture dress that echoed the film’s gothic romance.
