Timothée Chalamet's Cartier Candy Necklace for 'Wonka' Took 450 Hours to Make

Timothée Chalamet in Cartier's custom Candy Necklace for "Wonka" Premiere.

"Come with me, and you'll be in a world of pure imagination!" Anything is possible in the wonderful, whimsical world of Willy Wonka. That includes creating a glittering necklace that looks like a too-good-to-be-true, candy-coated confection but is real and consists of hundreds of gemstones. While walking the red carpet at the world premiere of Wonka at London’s Royal Festival Hall, Timothée Chalamet debuted a candy necklace that Cartier custom-made for the new chocolatier-in-chief.

The colorful choker features 964 emeralds, rubellites, pink tourmalines, and blue opals, per Vogue. "It's insane, right?" Chalamet told the publication a day prior to the screening. “It’s beyond anything I could have dreamt,” the actor said of the custom-made beauty that took around 450 hours to craft.
