Emma Chamberlain under fire for wearing \u201cstolen\u201d jewelry from Indian Royalty at Met Gala YouTube: VogueYouTube star Emma Chamberlain is catching flak for wearing some jaw-dropping gems believed to have been stolen from Indian Royalty at the 2022 Met Gala. Emma Chamberlain is one part internet superstar and one part budding fashion icon. As such, it came as little surprise that the YouTuber \u2014 who boasts over 11 million subscribers \u2014 made an appearance at the 2022 Met Gala to orchestrate interviews for Vogue. Her \u2018Gilded Glamour\u2019 look included a cropped top with puffed sleeves and a slinky white skirt\u2026 but it was her eye-catching choker that stole the show. View this post on Instagram The necklace features a huge yellow 23.6 carat De Beers diamond in the center, alongside an additional 2,930 other diamonds, totaling a whopping 1,000 carat weight. However, it\u2019s not the expense that makes this choker special; this necklace has quite a history, as well. The piece was notably in possession of Indian royalty Maharaja Bhupinder Singh of Patiala, who ruled from 1900 to 1938. It\u2019s also worth noting that Singh was one of the richest men in the world (and an avid Cricket player) \u2014 but his choker suddenly went missing from the Patiala royal treasury sometime around 1948, nearly ten years after his death. It is believed that the choker was stolen by the British, as the necklace resurfaced at a London jewelry store in 1998, where it was subsequently scooped up by Cartier (a company for which Chamberlain is an ambassador). When Chamberlain showed up at the Met Gala sporting the historic piece, the internet instantly went ablaze with comments and criticism surrounding her eye-popping accessory. \u201cOkay so nobody is gonna talk about Emma Chamberlain wearing literally a necklace worn by a south Asian king at the Met Gala?\u201d one user wrote on Twitter. \u201cWhen it comes to South Asians, it\u2019s always ignored and rejected. SPEAK ABOUT THIS.\u201d https:\/\/twitter.com\/Nikiforminaj\/status\/1526065938990243842 \u201cThis is way worse than Kim wearing Marilyn Monroe\u2019s dress,\u201d another wrote. \u201cIt has a deep and painful history attached to it.
