- Matilda was a very pretty young lady. Neither did they live a luxurious life nor were they poor. Matilda was very unhappy because she always thought that she was born for all luxuries in the world but she had to live a petty and simple life. Her husband brought an invitation to a dinner party organized by his office. He thought his wife would be excited but instead, she was upset. She complained that she had nothing suitable to wear to such a great occasion.
- I lost the necklace!!
- Her husband generously agreed to give her four hundred francs that he had saved to buy a new rifle to get herself a dress. Matilda became anxious in the week of the party. On asking her she told her husband that she had no jewellery policy with her gown. He suggested that perhaps she could borrow something from her friend Jeanne Forestier. Jeanne heard her story of distress and she generously opened her box of jewels. Matilda borrowed a sparkling diamond necklace.
- 10 years
- Matilda and her husband attended the gala and had a great time. Matilda looked very pretty, elegant, and graceful. Everyone at the party noticed her and they all wanted to be introduced to her. She was so glorified by her beauty that she became very careless.
- That necklace was fake!
- They arrived home in the early hours of the morning. When Matilda viewed her glory in the mirror, she realized the necklace was missing. They searched for it everywhere in the house. They wondered if it fell in the cab that brought them home but neither of them noticed the number. Matilda’s husband went out to search the streets but returned empty-handed.
- To buy some time from Jeanne, Matilda wrote a letter that she broke the clasp of the necklace and so she sent it for repair. In the meantime, they found a similar kind of necklace. The cost of the necklace was thirty-six thousand francs. Her husband inherited eighteen thousand francs from his father and he borrowed the rest of the amount from the moneylenders. Finally, they purchased the necklace and Matilda gave it to Jeanne who did not care to look at it. Matilda’s life changed dramatically in the next ten years. They moved to a much smaller apartment where she cooked and cleaned herself. Her husband did multiple jobs and she also did other work to pay all the money they had borrowed. After ten years, they were able to pay all the money back but by then Matilda had aged a lot.
- One day, Matilda met Jeanne Forestier. She decided to confess the truth about the necklace. Jeanne was surprised to see Matilda’s state. Matilda told her that she had lost the necklace that she borrowed from her and had to pay a huge amount for the replacement. Jeanne was shocked to hear the entire story behind the necklace and she confessed that the necklace Matilda borrowed was a fake, which was not more than worth five hundred francs.
