Some people may not be familiar with Hope, but when it comes to another movie, Titanic, everyone knows it. The movie Titanic runs through the whole story except this one, which belongs to the diamond that all girls want to own "in the center of the sea". The heart of the sea in the play is a film and television jewelry based on "hope". When we have a deeper understanding, we will know that "hope" brings only despair to every master. I believe you can understand that you can only look at it from a distance and not be ridiculous!
This diamond was originally found by an old man in an abandoned mine on the Na River in Keable. After rough processing, it is 1 12.5 carat dark gray blue. According to the current scientific and technological appraisal, its purity reaches VS 1 level. After the old man died, this gem triggered a civil war. Finally, the leader said that this gem is dedicated to the God of Peace, and it is embedded in the eyes of the statue of Sito in India. Later, a bold young man couldn't resist the temptation and stole the diamond in the middle of the night, but he was arrested by the temple guards and executed in a short time.
Until 1642, an explorer from France told Tavimir to steal this gem. Maybe it's doomed, and bad luck spreads. He sold the stolen gems to Louis XIV, then king of France, to get a large sum of money and awarded him the title of Baron. Because Tavimir was rich, he developed the bad habit of his son spending money like water, and soon all the money at home was squandered. Tavimir's family was poor in his later years. In order to get back his money, he came to India, hoping to steal gems from the temple again, and was finally killed by wild dogs on the way, and he suffered the consequences.
After Louis XIV got this rare gem, he ordered the craftsman to polish it into a 69.03-carat heart-shaped gem and set it in the crown, and named it' Crown Blue Diamond'. Then his favorite grandson died suddenly, which made him very sad. He wore it only once and died of smallpox. The jewel then fell into the hands of Princess Bell, who decorated it on her necklace. Finally, when the princess was in the street, she accidentally made trouble and was killed by civilians. Louis XV, who ascended the throne again, gave this rare diamond to his concubine who was beheaded in the French Revolution. During the period of Louis XVI, he gave this gem to his beloved Queen Marie Antoinette. Queen Mary has always liked jewelry. She likes this beautiful diamond very much, so she often wears it. Finally, both the king and queen were guillotined.
1792, this gem was stolen by thieves. In order to cover up the crime, thieves re-polished it and reduced its weight to 45.54 carats. However, due to the "fame" of the jewelry, it was never sold after several reprints, and the thief finally starved to death on the street. Later, the "Hope" changed hands with a new owner, and the new owner made it into a 45.52-carat square oval, which was finally bought by the famous banker Henry Philip Hope at a high price of 18000. Named "Hope" after himself, this gem is the prototype of Rose's fiance in Titanic.
After Hope died of old age, his relatives fought a lawsuit for his inheritance for ten years. Later, this gem was silent for a period of time and has been passed down in Hope's family. It was exhibited at 185 1 London World Expo and 1855 Paris World Expo respectively. The so-called wealth can't exceed three generations, but it can't escape this rule after all. Until 1896, I hope the family will go bankrupt completely, and the gem auction can only be used to pay off debts. The diamond that gave "hope" did not bring eternal prosperity to this family in the end.
1908, this diamond was bought by a wealthy Turkish businessman Hamid for $400,000. However, the businessman was involved in a car accident while taking his wife and children out, and fell off a cliff, killing his whole family. Then the diamond was presented to his confidant Zobid by the then King of Turkey, but this confidant was secretly executed by the King. 19 1 1, an unbelieving American, markland bought "Hope" for 1 14000 as a gift to his beloved wife. Mrs Macland is also a lady who loves jewelry. She often wears "Hope" and her other famous diamond "Oriental Star" at the same time to show her status and financial resources. In the following year, their son died in a car accident, and soon Macland died suddenly. Their daughter couldn't stand the blow and took a lot of sleeping pills after suffering from depression.
Because of all kinds of deeds, "Hope" diamond has become a daunting nightmare. Finally, at 1947, the blue diamond welcomed its last owner: a jeweler named Harry Winston. He bought the blue diamond "Hope" for 165438+ ten thousand dollars. In the next ten years, Winston traveled around with his precious jewels to raise money for charity. After the baptism of 640,000 kilometers and more than 500 people, * * * raised more than 6,543,800 yuan in donations.
Finally, this "Hope" blue diamond was dedicated to a museum in the United States, attracting a large number of tourists every day. This magical gem has experienced many hardships, witnessed the prosperity of the world and finally returned to peace. Perhaps this extremely beautiful thing should never belong to someone. If he had been lying quietly in the temple, he wouldn't have suffered so many tragedies later. If its owner used it for charity instead of selfish possession from the beginning, maybe … who knows?
