A diamond is a girl best friend!
The world is full of stories about women and
their diamonds. A woman and diamond necklace affair is in existence since time
immemorial. You must have heard the Queen Marie
Antoinette-- diamond necklace affair. Here is
another story involving the Iron Lady of UK
Margaret Thatcher.
In 1981, Sultan of Oman showered a diamond necklace worth more than £200,000 on former British Premier Margaret Thatcher who instantly fell in love with the jewelry. But as law of the land bars officials from accepting personal presents in almost all circumstances the necklace was placed in a special vault in 10 Downing Street.
She wore the necklace several times but when she left the office in 1990 it was confiscated by the state. One morning Thatcher woke up to see the same necklace was flaunted by the wife of the then Prime Minister John Major. She became furious and in a rage immediately called Major and protested against the use of necklace. Thatcher was against the use of necklace by anyone else as it was gifted to her and regarded the necklace as her most pricey possession.
After the incident one of the British lawmaker remarked, ‘Thatcher believes diamonds are forever.’ It was later revealed that Thatcher was so fascinated with the necklace that even after losing the possession she requested the Sultan of Oman to make a replica of the necklace for her.
Even in the movie Titanic the dazzling diamond necklace worn by Rose was the center of attraction.
