YouTube sensation, Emma chamberlain flaunts the necklace of the Patalia royalty at the 2022 Met Gala. After disappearing from the Patiala treasury, the heirloom "De Beers" diamond wasn't spotted for another 34 years. "Certain clothes and jewelry have a cultural significance which is often washed away when people wear them just for aesthetics. In this instance, that necklace had a lot of history and importance behind it. Especially considering that it was stolen from Indian royalty. It’s just wrong and disrespectful for her as an influencer to wear to an event that doesn’t benefit south Asians in any way or highlights them. She wore it for her own benefit which I believe is so disrespectful," junior Fernanda Chavez Hernandez said.
