The most famous blue diamond in history is the cursed “Star of Hope”, which was produced in the 17th century in India’s Gorkonda diamond mine. After cutting, it weighed 45.52 carats. Cartier’s founder was the bottom 18 owners of the “Star of Hope”, and was finally bought by Herry Winston and donated to the Smithsonian Institution.
Researchers believe that this “Star of Hope” was originally one of the many gemstones on the crown of France. It is said that a businessman stole the dark blue gem in the eyes of Indian Buddhist gods and then brought it back to France, where it was sold to King Louis XIV. The “Star of Hope” has been with the French royal family, knowing that it was stolen during the French Revolution.
However, all the people who owned the diamond seemed to have died tragically at the same time. Among them, King Louis XVI and Queen Mary Antoinette suffered the guillotine of death. Those who owned the diamond behind either committed suicide or were murdered, and the investment failed and became penniless.
