At minute 27, it say Louis the 14th, it should be Louis the 16th as Louis the 14th died in 1715. Louis the 14th was the great-great-great grandfather of Louis the 16th.
@@OCSynthesis Thank you for your reply. I don't think the mistake is that of research, but just a slip of the tongue by the narrator. Louis the 16th (The French revolution) is often confused with Louis the 14th, the Sun King ( known for Chateau de Versailles).
@OCSynthesis From what I know, the diamond was stolen from a statue of a deity in a temple in india. The deity, energy form, was not happy that people didnt respect the statue. So the deity could have cursed the diamond.
Between statutes of limitations and the lack of proof that the Hope Diamond was indeed cut form the French Blue, it’s unlikely. If what was presented in this production is accurate, all it shows is that it was possible for them to be the same stone. No proof was offered up, and a claim by the French government wouldn’t hold up in any court of law. I believe that the Hope Diamond is staying right where it currently resides.
What a bunch a hooey! All the doings around the anniversary were just to make money. I mean, so the stone floreses- you need to drill a hole in it? You can't see with the other 80 stones what's going on??? And the big-time stone setter- it a SIMPLE basket setting, that any halfway busy jeweler does several times a week! Easy-peasey! Try it on a Tourmaline, or an Apatite gemstone( they are soft stones , about a 5 on the MOHS hardness scale, diamonds are a 10). There's your hard to do gemstone setting job! And I had to disagree with taking the saw to the prongs at a 90° to the Hope diamond no less. Yeah, it's hard, but you could chip the edge of a facet with that saw. Ever hear of side cutters dude? Use the facetts on the table for a guide, a little work with a needle file, and you're outta there! All of this was publicity to get people coming in the door to see it, and to elevate the consequence of those involved.
