The visual environment conceived by David Lynch was comprised of a 7-minute "floating diamond" projection that was displayed each hour accompanied by a musical score. His inspiring installation places visitors in a unique atmosphere created by light, sound and texture, complementing the jewels displayed.

Lynch's creative vision blends perfectly with Cartier's collections, highlighted by his golden-fabric walls, gold-printed carpeting, gold trimmed display cases, an ornate curved display case for the incredible Patiala necklace, and gold-accented furniture with reflective glass tops.

The famous Patiala necklace was made in 1928 for Maharaja of Patiala in India in 1928. The original necklace was just under 1,000 carats featuing 2,930 diamonds which included the golf ball sized DeBeers gem 0f 234.69 carats.
The replica combines pieces of the original reclaimed at auction a decade ago by Cartier with good old cubic zirconium.
