A De Grisogono necklace reportedly worth 1.9 million euros has been stolen during the Cannes film festival, in the second such theft to hit this year’s event.

The expensive piece by Swiss jeweller De Grisogono vanished after a celebrity party at a five-star hotel in the resort town of Cap d’Antibes.

The theft occurred despite “large security measures”, including 80 security guards, the jeweller said.

Last week, thieves ripped a safe with jewels from the wall of a hotel room.

The latest robbery happened after an exclusive gala held at the exclusive Hotel du Cap-Eden-Roc on Tuesday night.

The high-profile event celebrated De Grisogono’s 20th anniversary, and was attended by international movie stars like Sharon Stone and Ornella Muti.

The jeweller house regularly loans its jewels to celebrities, including Paris Hilton and Cameron Diaz.

“It is actually the first time it has happened in our 20-year history,” the company said in a statement.

It added that the theft occurred “despite the large security measures set in place: over 80 security guards plus police”.

Last Friday, thieves stole jewels by Swiss jewellers Chopard from the Novotel hotel.

The precious goods were worth more than 770,000 euros.

Chopard is an official sponsor of the festival and also makes its top award, the Palme d’Or. But the trophy was not among the stolen items.

At least two apartments rented by film executives have also been burgled during the festival, according to the AFP news agency.

Rare pink diamond Martian Pink is expected to fetch at least $8 million when it goes under the hammer in Hong Kong.

The Martian Pink diamond is about 12 carats in size. Pink diamonds as large as this are extremely rare.

The gem was named by famed American jeweller Ronald Winston in 1976, the same year the US sent a satellite to Mars.

The most famous pink diamond in the world belongs to Queen Elizabeth II.

The Williamson Pink was given to Queen Elizabeth II for her wedding in 1947 – the cut, 23.6-carat round stone was later set in a brooch.

The Martian Pink is estimated to be worth $8-12 million, says Christie’s auction house.

It is the largest round fancy intense pink diamond to ever go under the hammer, says Christie’s.
