Hope Diamond Legend Endures Through Notable Scandals
The Hope Diamond, weighing 45.52 carats, was studied by an American Gem Society expert and returned to a burglar proof case at the Smithsonian’s Museum of Natural History. Its history links monarchs, a Folies Bergere performer, and multiple deaths, with Evalyn Walsh McLean as a pivotal American link before Harry Winston donated it to the Smithsonian.
