Answer:
There are a number of important moral lessons in "The Necklace" but I'd argue that the most important one of all is that you should always be true to yourself. Madame Loisel certainly isn't and therein lies her downfall. She leads a perfectly comfortable, respectable life—she's a good deal better off than most people in France at the time—and yet she's still not happy with her lot.
Her main problem is that she has delusions of grandeur, thinking herself to be better than she really is. Mathilde's fantasies of living the good life eventually lead to a grim existence of mindless drudgery and grinding poverty. If she'd been grateful for what she had then this wouldn't happened. There's nothing wrong with being ambitious in life, and perhaps Monsieur Loisel can be criticized on this score, but that doesn't mean pretending to be something you're not. Mathilde acts like a princess, thinking she's entitled to better things. But she's simply deluding herself, and the results of her delusions are disastrous for her and her husband.
If one had to sum up the moral of the story in a saying, then perhaps we should give the last word to Polonius, in act 1, scene 3 of Hamlet:
This above all: to thine own self be true,
And it must follow, as the night the day,
Thou canst not then be false to any man.

For repaying the diamond necklace to the friend , she had to sacrifice so many years for her and her husband's whole income.She should have known that a person's goodness and character make one beautiful not the beautiful dresses and attire.
