Thomas Hope died on Groundhog Day exactly 190 years ago today. He came back every February 2 to visit the Hope Diamond and renew the curse. 💎

Renewal package 📦

[@aaroneaton583]

Most beautiful diamond I ever seen

[@ruzzelladrian907]

Wow. It was even carried at the 53rd and 5th Avenue subway station.

[@user-kp7ji6el1k]

Mooi dat de diamant voor iedereen te bezichtigen is. En niet is verdwenen in een privé collectie.

[@erikamariemata2001]

Wow ! Looks so much like the heart of the ocean !

Thomas Hope died on Groundhog Day exactly 190 years ago today. He came back to visit the blue diamond and renew the curse on every Groundhog Day. Hollywood used a copy of the Hope diamond for the Titanic movie.

@@MoMas7 stop calling it hope diamond it is from India Britishers stole that diamond from India and they are giving us back to India and real name of the diamond is Kohinoor

[@MoMas7]

@@NARUTO-7764, so did they give back the blue diamond or the US still has it? I doubt if they admitted they took it out from the goddess Shiva. The name Hope stuck forever! 😆

[@NARUTO-7764]

@@MoMas7 😂 that's funny but I told that the hope diamond is from England not from USA

[@MoMas7]

@@NARUTO-7764The French got it first. A man stole it from Goddess Shiva. It changed many owners. Now it's in the Smithsonian museum. They called it the Hope Diamond. It's cursed because it was stolen from the Goddess of death.

Smuggled is a bizarre term to use I think Stolen in what you meant to say

[@richarddavis3980]

@Zarmeena Shah yes that's what I said and the Kohinor was a different diamond

[@richarddavis3980]

@Zarmeena Shah that's the one that's in the queen of england's crown

[@shaikmohammednoor778]

[@socku5850]
