The world's largest blue-black diamond named Hope makes humanity "craving", but it is itself associated with a mysterious curse that causes tragic deaths for many famous figures in history.

Referring to diamond is referring to the flashy, beautiful, enchanting people. But the Hope diamond is something no one dares to own because it has brought so much tragedy to many people, including the owner, their relatives, to those indirectly involved.

Accordingly, the Hope diamond became famous all over the world not only for its enchanting appearance but also for the most haunting deaths in history.

The most beautiful diamond in the world

Hope is a 45.52 carat diamond with an indescribably beautiful dark blue color. It is considered the largest diamond in the world and the most valuable on earth with a value of up to 250 million USD. Currently, this diamond is on display at the Smithsonian Museum, Washington DC, USA.

Such a beautiful, enchanting gem, but no one, including those who love to collect gems, billionaires or manufacturers, dares to own this diamond because it is associated with a tragic "curse of death".

Curse of the stripped diamond

According to legend, a French merchant named Jean Baptiste Tavernier, while traveling through India in 1653, discovered blue diamonds in a statue of Shiva, where they were used as "god's eyes".

Tavernier took one of the two gems from the statue's eye and set off back to Europe. After the god's eye disappeared, the priests were extremely indignant and thought that anyone who dared to take away the god's eye was insulting their god, so they cursed anyone who owned the gem. rare.

After returning home, the merchant Tavernier sold the blue diamond to King Louis XIV and traveled to Russia. There, according to some stories, he was torn to pieces by a pack of wild dogs.

And also after the death of this first owner, the curse of the blue diamond began to be fulfilled and extended the list of victims.

In 1673, Louis XIV ordered the royal jeweler Sieur Pitau to sharpen it again to increase the diamond's brightness and officially named the gem "the blue diamond of the king of France" or called "French blue".

Nicholas Fourquet, who was entrusted with the responsibility of "carefully" taking care of the jewels and crowns of the French Royal Family, was once allowed to wear this diamond in a formal event. Soon after, Fouquet was unpopular with the king, so he was executed.

It seems that King Louis XIV himself escaped the "curse" of the diamond when no luck happened to him, but his descendants did not. All of his children died prematurely.

The diamond was then passed on to the son of King Louis XIV - King Louis XVI. However, this king and the famous Queen Marie Antoinette, were beheaded by guillotine in the middle of the French Revolution. Later, the "French Blue" diamond, along with many other jewels, was stolen.

Before her arrest and execution, Queen Marie Antoinette occasionally lent her closest confidant and a member of the royal family, Marie Louise, the "French Blue" diamond to use as jewelry. After Queen Marie Antoinette was arrested, an angry mob attacked Princess Marie Louise. The princess was beaten with a hammer, beheaded, and dissected. Princess Marie Louise's head hangs from the window of Queen Marie Antoinette's cell.

After being stolen, this diamond has "no sound" for a long time. Then, suddenly a long time later, in 1800, there was information that the diamond was in the possession of the Queen of Spain. But then, many people associated with it also died mysteriously.

About 20 years after the French Revolution, a re-cut of the "French Blue" diamond was exhibited in London. It was purchased by an English aristocrat named Henry Phillip Hope in 1839 and the diamond has carried his name ever since.

Once again, the diamond seemed to release Mr. Hope from its curse but left his descendant, son Lord Francis Hope, beaten.

After Lord Francis inherited the gem on his 21st birthday, he quickly married an American prostitute. The couple live a lavish lifestyle far beyond their ability to pay. Lord Francis was forced to declare bankruptcy and sell the Hope diamond. When the transaction was completed, his beautiful wife ran away with her mistress, and Francis Hope himself had to die in poverty.

The blue diamond passed through many hands in the years following Lord Francis' death. No one has owned the Hope diamond for too long, but it is clear that owning this gem has brought bad luck.

It is reported that Russian Prince Ivan Kanitovski then took ownership of the gem. His mistress, Lorens Ladue, wore it once and was shot dead that same night. Prince Ivan himself was also killed by followers of the Russian revolutionary movement.

Next, a wealthy Greek jeweler bought the gem. Then, the car he was driving suddenly crashed into a cliff, killing the whole family. In 1911, the diamond belonged to Miss Evalyn Walsh McLean - an extremely wealthy heiress in the magnificent New York City. But Evalyn also did not escape the curse when her mother-in-law and 9-year-old son died in turn. Evalyn's husband ran off with another woman and later died in a mental hospital

Now, the Hope diamond has remained in the museum for the past time without any more accidents around it, it is speculated that it is very likely that the curse of this beautiful diamond has passed. stop.
