The love story of the hero and heroine in Titanic revolves around a jeweled necklace: the Heart of the Ocean. At the end of the film, this gem also sinks into the sea along with the heroine's yearning for the hero. Today is the story of another gem.
In many legends, many items have cursed properties. Throughout the ages, it is said that in some countries with a particularly strong religious atmosphere, there are always many people who are enveloped by death and tragedy because they touch cursed things. Although there is no actual theoretical basis for saying that they die from a curse, there are indeed many people who die from this.
The largest blue diamond in the world: The Star of Hope, also known as the Star of Hope, is a huge naked diamond ornament with a clear sea blue color. Many jewelry companies, connoisseurs and even Kings and queens want to get it, but everyone who gets it without exception has a lot of bad luck, either dead or injured.
In the 1660s, the American adventurer Tasmir found this huge blue diamond rough stone during a treasure hunt, which is said to have been 112 carats. Subsequently, Tasmir presented the diamond to King Louis XIV, and received a large number of awards. But who would have thought that in the end Tasmir would be killed, mauled by a pack of wild dogs during a treasure hunt, and finally died.
After King Louis XIV got the blue diamond, he ordered people to polish and polish the diamond and wear it happily, but then came the smallpox outbreak in Europe, but Louis XIV's life.
Later, Louis XV's partners, Louis XVI and his empress, both wore the blue diamond, but their fate was to be sent to the guillotine.
In the late 1790s, the blue diamond was suddenly stolen, and it did not reappear in the Netherlands until nearly 40 years later, when it was cut down to less than 45 carats. It is said that the diamond craftsman Wilhelm in order to avoid the recovery of the diamond, the decision was made. Even if divided again, the diamond craftsman Wilhelm did not escape the curse of the blue diamond, and the final outcome was that Wilhelm and his son committed suicide one after another.
British jewelry connoisseur Philip saw this blue diamond in the 1830s and was deeply attracted to it, and ignored the legend that this blue diamond would bring bad luck, and then bought it without hesitation. He named it Hope after himself and also changed it to "Hope Star". However, the blue diamond did not end its ability to bring bad luck, and the jewelry collector died suddenly at home.
Philip's nephew Thomas became the next heir to the Blue Diamond, and the Blue Diamond did not spare him. Marth eventually declared bankruptcy, and his lover Yossi also agreed to divorce him. Mars then sold the Hope Star in order to pay off his debts.
In the late 1940s, the well-known American large jewelry company Harry Winston spent a huge amount of money to buy the "Hope diamond", in a long period of time, the Winston family has not been affected by any curse, but the business is thriving. Finally, the Winston family gave the blue diamond to the Smithsonian History Museum in Washington, USA.
Just when everyone thought the bad luck was over, Harry Winston Jewelers suffered one of the largest jewelry heists in American history. The bad luck didn't go away.
Fortunately, it is now in a museum and will not bring bad luck to anyone else.
