Diamond Engagement Ring
I like diamond engagement ring.
Do you like stories? Well...according to the infamous legend, a curse befell the large, blue diamond when it was plucked (stolen) from an idol in India, and...a curse that foretold bad luck and death not only for the owner of the diamond but for all who touched it.
It doesn't matter if you believe in the curse, the Hope diamond has held people's interest for centuries. Its perfect qualityand large size. Its rare color make it strikingly beautiful and unique. Also, there is a varied history. Very, varied. It includes being owned by King Louis XIV. Then it was stolen during the French Revolution, sold to earn money for gambling, worn to raise money for charity, and then finally donated to the Smithsonian Institution.
It all began with a theft. Several centuries ago, a man named Tavernier made a trip to India. While there, he stole a large blue diamond from the forehead (or eye) of a statue of the Hindu goddess Sita. He was then torn apart by wild dogs on a trip to Russia and right after he had sold the diamond. This was the first, crazy horrible death attributed to the curse. When it actually went on sale in 1949, it was bought by Harry Winston, who was a New York jeweler. He offered the diamond, on numerous occasions, to be worn at balls to raise money for charity. Some believe that Winston donated the Hope diamond to rid himself of the curse. Es posible folks. Winston donated the diamond because he had long believed in creating a national jewel collection. OK. He donated the Hope diamond to the Smithsonian Institution in 1958 to be the focal point of a newly established gem collection as well as to inspire others to donate. You won't find the Hope Diamond at this link, but you will find offers the finest selection of Quality Diamonds & Jewelry...and at low prices! It's in the famous diamond district in NYC.
