Famous jewelry pieces throughout history have fascinating stories and unique features that make them iconic. One of the most renowned is the Hope Diamond, a 45.52-carat deep blue diamond, rumored to carry a curse that brings misfortune to its owners. Despite the legend, it has captured the world’s attention for centuries and is now displayed at the Smithsonian Institution.
Another famous piece is the Cullinan Diamond, the largest rough diamond ever found, weighing 3,106 carats. Discovered in South Africa in 1905, it was cut into multiple stones, two of which are part of the British Crown Jewels, known as the Great Star of Africa and the Lesser Star of Africa.
The Tiffany Yellow Diamond is also iconic, weighing 128.54 carats. It has been worn by only four women, including Audrey Hepburn for the promotion of Breakfast at Tiffany's.
One fun fact about the Koh-i-Noor Diamond is that it has changed hands many times through conquest and gift, and it is said to bring good luck to female owners but misfortune to males. It is now part of the British Crown Jewels and remains one of the most debated and historic gems.
These pieces are more than just jewelry—they're part of history, carrying legends, mysteries, and intrigue.
