It is set in 19th-century France and revolves around the life of Mathilde  Loisel, a woman who dreams of a glamorous life beyond her modest circumstances. -​ Mathilde Loisel is a young, charming woman born into a modest middle-class family. She marries a simple, hardworking clerk at the Ministry of Education. Mathilde is deeply dissatisfied with her life, feeling that she was meant for luxury and wealth. She longs for a life filled with elegant clothes, exquisite jewellery, and opulent parties. Her modest apartment and modest lifestyle constantly frustrate her. -​ One day, her husband surprises Mathilde by bringing home an invitation to a grand party at the Ministry of Education. He hopes to make her happy, but instead, Mathilde becomes upset. She laments that she has nothing appropriate to wear to such a prestigious event. Her husband, ever accommodating, sacrifices his savings of 400 francs, which he had set aside to buy a rifle, and gives it to Mathilde to buy a beautiful dress. -​ Despite the new dress, Mathilde feels incomplete without jewellery to adorn herself. When she expresses her dissatisfaction, her husband suggests borrowing something from her wealthy friend, Madame Forestier. Mathilde visits Madame Forestier and chooses a stunning diamond necklace to complete her look. -​ At the party, Mathilde is a vision of beauty and grace. She becomes the center of attention, with everyone admiring her elegance. For one glorious evening, she feels like the wealthy, glamorous woman she always dreamed of being. She enjoys the party thoroughly and leaves with her husband in the early hours of the morning. -​ Upon returning home, Mathilde discovers that the diamond necklace is missing. In a panic, she and her husband retrace their steps but fail to find it. Distraught and desperate, they decide to replace the necklace to avoid disgracing themselves. They visit jewelry shops and find a similar necklace priced at 36,000 francs. -​ To buy the replacement, the Loisels borrow money from various sources, including moneylenders, plunging themselves into immense debt. They return the replacement necklace to Madame Forestier without revealing the loss. -​ To repay the debt, the Loisels drastically alter their lifestyle. They dismiss their maid, move to a smaller apartment, and take on arduous jobs. Mathilde does all the housework herself, while her husband works overtime and takes on additional jobs. The years of hardship take a toll on Mathilde, who loses her youthful beauty, becoming aged, rough, and weary. -​ After ten years of struggle, the Loisels finally repaid their debt. One day, Mathilde encounters Madame Forestier on the street and decides to reveal the truth about the lost necklace. Mathilde explains how the loss of the necklace changed her life and the sacrifices she and her husband made to replace it. -​ Madame Forestier, shocked and moved, reveals a devastating truth: the original necklace was a fake, worth no more than 500 francs. -​ The story ends on a tragic note, with Mathilde realizing that her misplaced priorities and obsession with appearances led to her downfall. The irony of the situation underscores the futility of valuing material possessions over contentment and honesty.
