The               Hope               Diamond               enters               the               historic               record               as               a               gemstone               almost               three               times               the               size               of               the               Hope               Diamond               on               view               at               the               Smithsonian               Institution's               National               Museum               of               Natural               History.

Called               the               Tavernier               Diamond,               this               112+               carat               deep               blue               gem               made               up               part               of               a               package               that               consisted               of               a               baker's-dozen               of               large               gems               purchased               in               1668               by               Louis               XIV,               King               of               France.
               Mysterious               Diamond
               The               mystery               starts               with               just               how               Jean               Baptist               Tavernier               acquired               the               diamond.

He               made               six               voyages               from               1640               to               1667               and               while               visiting               India               either               purchased               the               gemstone               from               the               Kollur               Mine               or               stole               it               from               the               eye               of               an               idol,               the               Goddess               Sita,               whose               temple               sat               along               the               Coleroon               River.

A               temple               priest               is               said               to               have               placed               a               curse               on               anyone               that               possessed               the               missing               gemstone.
               Tavernier               drew               sketches               of               this               pre-cursor               to               the               Hope               diamond               and               in               his               written               description               used               the               phrase,               "un               beau               violet"               (a               beautiful               violet)               to               describe               the               color               of               this               diamond               with               such               a               deep,               rich               hue.
               Somewhere               in               the               mid               1670's               it               was               Sieur               Pitau,               court               jeweler,               that               reduced               the               112               carat               Tavernier               Diamond               to               barely               more               than               half               its               size,               67+               carats,               to               create               the               gem               that               became               known               as               the               'French               Blue'.

The               first               piece               of               jewellery               this               historic               precious               stone               adorned               was               a               cravat               pin               for               the               King               of               France.
               Mystery               Solved
               The               jeweler               Andre               Jacquemin               created               a               new               piece               of               ceremonial               jewelry               in               1749               in               which               to               set               the               French               Blue               for               the               next               king,               Louis               XV.

This               deep               blue               diamond               became               the               focal               point               of               a               medal               for               the               'Order               of               the               Golden               Fleece'.

Slightly               more               than               40               years               later               the               French               Royal               Treasury               was               looted               and               the               'French               Blue'               diamond               disappeared               forever.
               Although               the               French               Blue               was               never               again               seen               it               has               been               determined               by               the               Smithsonian               Institute               in               2005,               using               techniques               of               modern               science               and               the               discovery               of               a               cast               of               the               original               French               Blue,               that               the               Hope               diamond               is               the               45.52               carat               remains               of               that               'lost'               diamond.

               This               newly               cut               gem               is               reputed               to               have               been               acquired               by               England's               King               George               IV               through               private               channels               and               then               sold               upon               his               death               to               clear               his               debts,               once               again               through               private               channels.
               This               diamond               now               made               its               way               into               the               collection               of               a               rich               banking               family               named               Hope.

It               has               carried               that               name               ever               since               even               though               its               most               flamboyant               and               memorable               owners               were               yet               to               come.
               By               way               of               inheritance,               sale               for               debt               and               other               means               it               came               into               the               possession               of               the               Sultan               of               Turkey,               Abdul               Hamid               II.

The               Sultan               gave               it               as               a               bauble               to               his               wife               Subaya,               who               was               wearing               it               at               a               Turkish               court               function               when               she               met               Mrs.

Evalyn               Walsh               McLean,               rich               socialite               with               a               penchant               for               jewelry.
               The               Hope               diamond,               this               remnant               of               the               idols               eye,               had               passed               through               the               hands               of               yet               more               owners               by               the               time               it               was               purchased               by               the               famous               jeweler,               Pierre               Cartier,               in               1910.
               Cartier               was               intent               on               moving               this               expensive               item               off               of               his               inventory               so               he               approached               Evalyn               McLean,               who               had               mentioned               seeing               the               gem               gracing               the               throat               of               the               Sultans               wife               to               her               jeweler               P.

Cartier.
               Pierre               Cartier,               master               salesman,               opened               with               the               dramatic               news               of               the               death               of               that               beautiful               lady               during               the               'Turkish               Rebellion'               and               continued               on               with               stories               of               the               mysterious               Eye               of               the               idol               of               the               goddess               Sita               and               the               curse               of               misery               and               death               that               followed               it               over               the               centuries.
               Not               the               usual               sales               pitch,               but               Cartier               new               that               Mrs.

McLean               boasted               of               getting               good               luck               from               things               that               brought               bad               luck               to               others.

Cartier               had               a               new               setting               made               for               the               gem               and               the               deal               was               finalized               in               1911,               starting               the               public               life               of               the               Hope               diamond.
               From               Idol               Eye               to               Public               Eye
               The               Hope               diamond               toured               the               social               scene               of               Washington,               D.C.

for               the               next               36               years               around               the               neck               of               Evalyn               McLean.

The               Washington               Post               columnist               Sarah               Booth               Conroy               pointed               out               that               Evalyn               wore               the               diamond               everywhere,               each               becoming               so               associated               with               the               other               that               the               gem               became               part               of               the               theme               for               her               personal               show,               as               Mrs.

McLean               clearly               states               in               her               autobiography;
               "It's               only               when               the               thing               I               buy               creates               a               show               for               those               around               me               that               I               get               my               money's               worth."
               The               Hope               diamond               continued               its               public               life               after               Mrs.

McLean               passed               on               when               it               was               once               again               sold               to               clear               up               personal               debt.

Harry               Winston,               Inc.

took               this               fabled               gem               on               the               road,               for               the               next               ten               years,               as               the               crowning               addition               to               their               'Court               of               Jewels'               exhibit.
               It               was               during               this               period               that               the               final               cutting               of               this               historic               blue               diamond               took               place               when               the               bottom               facet               was               adjusted               to               increase               the               brilliance               of               the               gem.
               It               was               November               10,               1958               that               Harry               Winston               donated               the               Hope               diamond               to               the               American               public               by               sending               it               in               a               plain               brown               wrapper               by               U.S.

Mail               to               the               Smithsonian               Institute               where               it               became               specimen               #217868.
               To               celebrate               its               50th               anniversary               at               the               Smithsonian's               National               Museum               of               Natural               History               the               Hope               diamond               will               be               on               display               in               all               its               glory               and               without               a               setting.

The               Harry               Winston               jewelry               firm               is               creating               a               new               setting               for               the               Hope               diamond               which               they               call               "Embracing               Hope"               and               when               ready               the               two               will               become               part               of               the               exhibit.
               The               Hope               Diamond
               And               what               of               the               'Curse'?

When               tragedy               in               her               life               was               pointed               to               as               an               example               of               the               legendary               curse               Evalyn               McLean               replied,
               "What               tragedies               have               befallen               me               might               have               occurred               had               I               never               seen               or               touched               the               Hope               Diamond.

My               observations               have               persuaded               me               that               tragedies,               for               anyone               who               lives,               are               not               escapable."
               If               anyone               knew               the               answer               to               the               curse,               it               would               be               the               woman               who               adorned               herself               for               so               many               years               with               the               Eye               of               the               Idol,               the               Hope               diamond.
