Went to the Natural History Museum where they store The Cursed Amulet and I am super bummed to report it wasn't glowing with a purple miasma and did not emit any shrieking sounds

On this day:

DIAMOND OF DOOM

On December 14, 1967, Evalyn McLean, who never gained possession of the Hope Diamond bequeathed to her, nevertheless seemed to have acquired its curse, for she unexplainably died. Her grandmother had purchased the gem in 1911 and lived a life of tragedy: an automobile mishap killed her young son, her daughter committed suicide, and her husband was unfaithful and mentally unstable. She died in 1947, willing the diamond to her grandchildren, but her jewels were sold to pay off her debts.

The Hope Diamond was rumored to have begun as a 112-carat gem pried from the third eye of an Indian deity and brought to France in the mid-1600s by merchant traveler Jean-Baptiste Travernier. Over the years it possessed and was possessed by the French royal family, who were victims of intrigue, embezzlement, and executions; and Cadet Guillot, a thief who stole the diamond during the French Revolution, smuggled it to England, and was imprisoned. The diamond then disappeared until just after the statute of limitations on its theft had expired.

In 1812 diamond merchant Daniel Eliason sold it to Philip Hope, Dutch heir to a banking fortune. The diamond bred bitterness and bedlam in the Hope family for two generations before being sold to pay off debt to Simon Frankel, a New York jeweller. Other rumored owners of the Hope Diamond include:

* King George IV of Britain;

* Simon Montharides, who died with his family when his horse spooked and overturned their carriage;

* A Turkish sultan, who stabbed his wife and was overthrown;

* Two unnamed murdered owners;

* Jacques Celot, a French broker who went insane and killed himself;

* A Russian prince, Ivan Kanitovski, who gave the diamond to his mistress, an actress who was shot onstage while wearing it; Kanitovski himself was later murdered.

Finally, in 1911, Pierre Cartier who sold it to Evalyn Walsh McLean, who let her dog wear the diamond when she wasn't. The diamond’s final owner, Harry Winston, didn't believe in the curse. He mailed it in a brown paper bag as a donation to the Smithsonian Institution in 1958.

The passing of time persists, but I stay drawing Mothman! For the Sparkle prompt, what better than a trip to the Smithsonian to gaze at the Hope Diamond?

The way Hope Diamond by Vice Grip starts with a sexual innuendo in the first verse but then the second verse turns it into a metaphor for the soul, the chorus’s meaning is flipped from greedy, lustful desire to trusting someone else with the deepest hidden parts of yourself, your truest self exposed, and likewise you being entrusted with their truest self. AAAAAAUGHHHHHHHH

Good Afternoon Abby, Do you think the phantomhive ring hold some kind of a curse that may associate with the nature of the diamond (curse of the hope diamond theory) and its effects in real life , maybe yana-sensei references this in the early chapters when lizzy smashes the P ring ?

Cursed ring?

Idk what the ring's stone is supposed to be in manga canon. The anime suggests it's a chip from the Hope Diamond, long believed to cause the untimely death of its owners, but the manga hasn't mentioned diamonds.

The manga has mentioned sapphire, but only in the context of Sapphire House at Weston. There is also a really deeply placed reference to a ring with a beryl stone, also during the Weston arc (ch73): if you read the elegy (look for Book IV.7:1-96 Cynthia: From Beyond the Grave on this page... or in an old post, and here's the Latin) that Sebastian has the Latin class read, it's about a man who's haunted by the ghost of a woman who is angry at him for not mourning her properly, and she claims his slave girl poisoned her. There's stuff about her funeral, the rivers of the Underworld, Cerberus and other figures, and a ring with a beryl stone -- her funeral pyre had damaged the ring (maybe partly melted the band off her finger?). Beryls can be a lovely deep blue, like the stone in the Phantomhive ring. More old posts: X X X I'm particularly fond of the idea that the Phantomhive ring has a maxixe beryl, like this one:

Idk what stone we are really dealing with. But if the Phantomhive ring really is cursed, then why would they keep it? Who needs an heirloom destined to get its owner killed from generation to generation?

5 YEARS OF CONCEPT

These are the drafts of the pilot version of the three main Diamonds in the story, without these first concepts, the comic might not have the same current direction or even exist!

It all started when I was bored in a free class in 8th grade, I just created them for fun, I didn't intend to make a comic or anything like that, also the story I had created was something "private" and for the public it would just be gemsonas.

In the old version of the Color Diamond Authority, the Diamonds were divided because they did not agree with each other and thus, they would branch into 4 or 5 authorities: The Fruits, The Heavenly (Possibly Rainbow would be in that authority), The Colors and The Males.

Peach would be the leader of the Fruit Diamond Authority, Lime and Cherry would be its members. She would have a more boring and dry personality, she had no reason to be mean, differently than she has now. She would probably be a Rainbow fanatic in her early years and over time would lose interest in her creator. Rainbow had never appeared in form to the Diamonds, but she still communicated with them by voice through a shadow or dark cloud, and they would all know that they were created by her.

Hope would still continue in the original authority (which was later called the Heavenly Diamond Authority), along with Aqua, Sun and Moon. Her personality wouldn't change much, it would just be more expressive and cheerful. I confess that when I made her, I was in doubt about choosing the colors purple or white, until blue was the color chosen (and also because it was the same color as the original diamond). She would have no arms or legs or even hair, most of her body was made up of her aura, so she would have to feel hopeful all the time for her body to function.

Bi-Color would be leading the Colors Diamond Authority together with Gray. Her personality would be like Blue, only cheerful. Her first color version would only be 2, but then it went to 3 (with the colors pink, blue and purple), then it was changed again to pink, yellow and blue (which would represent the colors of the Great Diamond Authority). And to be honest, her first version always reminded me of Celia Mae from Monster Inc.

And finally Magenta, the first Diamond created that was later added to the Color Diamond Authority on January 1, 2019.

Magenta participated in the Spatial (or Spacial) Diamond Authority, however, after a conflict between me and the authority's creator, I decided to withdraw and create my own. (And I recommend not sharing the old comic, if you have seen it, cause there are Diamonds that are not mine, so it would be rude to use them on any occasion)

She would have a similar personality to White, but in a kinder way. She couldn't see imperfection in anything, she always saw things on the positive side, even if everything was going wrong. Unlike the current one, she would almost never feel sad, in addition to being more silly, and would ask a lot more questions.

As time went by she would become colder and would no longer be able to think about anything positive, she would see things more realistic and would become almost like an "antagonist" or an "anti hero" of the Rebel Gems, due to the traumatic moments she developed in the authority.

There are old script concepts that were used and will still be used in the comic. The current story has a direction almost similar to the old one in some points, but with drastic changes, it will be more explored and polished than before.

A curiosity is that Silver and Golden were only inserted later (I believe in March 2019), which added even more shine to the story, I don't know what the comic would be without them honestly. If the Peacocks and Magenta didn't exist, officially the Authority would split, just like the old concept, but it would be worked with the current Diamonds personalities.

Scientists may have pinpointed the true origin of the Hope Diamond and other pristine gemstones | Live Science

Researchers suggest that the famed Golconda diamonds, including the Hope Diamond and Koh-i-noor, may have originated from a volcanic outcrop nearly 200 miles from where they were mined

The Hope Diamond

The Hope Diamond is Pear shaped and bluish-grey in colour. The colour is caused by traces of boron and nitrogen within the stone. Eerily, these chemicals also make it glow red under ultraviolet light.

🦋💙 Diamante esperança / Hope diamond 💙🦋

Esperança é bem centrada, quase nunca gera ou gerou problemas, mas, tem algo acontecendo com ela. Dizem que a esperança é a última que morre, ela torce pra ser verdade

Hope is very centered, hardly ever generates or has generated problems, but there is something going on with it. They say that hope is the last thing that dies, she hopes it is true.
