A Famous Blue Diamond - Part I

The Story of The Hope Diamond, part I

The Hope diamond takes its name from Henry Philip Hope, who added the blue diamond to his collection sometime between the death of King George IV in 1830, and 1839. Historians speculate that the King bought the diamond in the early 1800s, and that, following his death, it was sold to offset his debts. In 1958, Harry Winston, Inc. donated the Diamond the Smithsonian Institution, where it remains a compelling centerpiece of the National Museum of Natural History.
