Good evening, the slumber link is not working for me?

His voice and his accent make the most soothing voice in the world. I can be stressed out but when I put on a video of his, i can feel it melt away.

[@kathswolf7255]

This is now my favorite ASMR channel. His French accent just makes me melt. Thank you for calming my anxiety :)

I cannot pick silver from gold but here we are listening about amazing jewelry to sleep and 😌 relaxation. Self care of highest quality level.

You should audition to narrate History Channel specials about European/World history. You've got a gifted voice.

Last time I was this early, the Hope Diamond was still the French Blue. 💎 Goodnight, everyone!

[@yelling3874]

This was a really interesting listen. I grew up in the DC area and had never heard of the McLean family, but there is an extremely expensive suburb in Virginia named McLean, and when I looked it up it turned out to be named after them. The father of the first McLean you mentioned built a train station there and named it after himself, and a town sprung up there. Cool!!!

[@obcl8569]

Really cool! I've been in the DMV for 30 years & never knew that! I *have* seen the Hope Diamond :) it used to be my kid's favorite spot out of every Smithsonian 😄

[@Tisbutascratch930]

You’ve outdone yourself again! I know you’ve done this topic years back but could you do a video on Vikings please? I just think there’s some interesting things that were left out in the original video

[@ASMRyouVEGANyet]

So sparkly, so tingly!

[@irenebecker4815]

That last story - the Affair of the diamond necklace - should be made into a movie; thanks for telling it so well.

Thank you sir, another superb historical, informative, and relaxing video. Geology has been an interest of mine, diamonds usually inspire a good story, and you present these really well. Merci beaucoup mon ami

Bonsoir J'aime énormément tes vidéos surtout celles en français. As tu prévu d'en faire d'autres ? J'ai déjà écoutes a plusieurs reprises celles que tu as faites. On apprend énormément et lorsque je vois les thèmes traités en anglais je serai tellement heureux de les avoir en français

[@LaurenMiklovic]

I was absolutely captivated by the Hope Diamond segment (side note: the Smithsonian is an absolute must if anybody ever finds themselves in DC). Would you consider doing an "(in)famous curses" video the next time you are making a spooky series? Whether curses are real or not, it's a really interesting way to see something traced throughout history! Thanks for another outstanding video!!

[@bobbwc7011]

Funfact: The largest and most pure green diamond (a very rare color) is the Dresden Green and can be observed in the Green Vault in Dresden, Germany. It is very impressive and intriguing. Green is such a weird color for a gem.
