Are you ready? Have you already told your valentine what you want as a gift this year?
I like the idea of celebrating a day dedicated to love and friendship because, well, who doesn't want a little more love in their life? Also, who doesn't like receiving gifts? I do love it! Speaking of gifts, today I want to talk to you about a very famous jewel that was gifted in one of the most famous movies where there is a great love story.
Do you remember more than 20 years ago (omg how time passes by 🤦🏻♀️) a very famous movie called Titanic? Well in that movie, the protagonist named Rose receives a necklace with a blue diamond in the shape of a heart. This was not just any necklace!
In the movie, this gemstone is called "The Heart of the Sea" and is described as a blue diamond cut in the shape of a heart set and surrounded by diamonds. The heart of the sea doesn't really exist (don't get depressed!). It was a necklace made especially for the movie with a zirconia. The director took inspiration from another very famous diamond when creating the necklace. The famous diamond is called "Hope Diamond".
The Hope Diamond, also known as Le Bijou du Roi (The King's Jewel) is a magnificent blue diamond that weighs approximately 45.52 carats. The remarkable diamond's origins can be traced back to India, where the original and much larger blue diamond, the Tavernier Blue, was purchased by a French gem dealer named Jean-Baptiste Tavernier. The rare blue color of the Hope diamond and its exceptional size have placed the diamond in a class of its own. In addition to the fact that the blue diamond is incredibly beautiful, people believe that it has a curse. According to popular belief, anyone who owns the diamond will face evil and bad luck.
Next week I'll tell you a little more about the Hope Diamond.
Xoxo, Britt
