Do you think the Hope Diamond is cursed, or it is just a coincidence?

Question

I am doing a project on the Hope Diamond, i was asking what you other peoples opinons are. So what do you think, coinceidence, or curse?

Answer 1

The Ko-I-Noor(north light diamond) is one of the cursed diamond(sits in the crown Of Elizabeth II) it was actually one very big stone split in 3.
What I now of it is that Queen Elizabeth has one(above told) and the other Elizabeth (Taylor) who got it from late husband Burton (he got in an auction, was belonging before from Empress Sissi who gave it to Maximilian (her brother in law).The nr.3 I don't now where that one is I think that's the Hope diamond.
Yes, those diamonds bring no good luck, all above had/have bad luck.

Answer 2

I've heard "Chantaldu..."'s information (above) on the Diamond being split and creating the Hope Diamond. I think the history channel/ discovery channel did a show on this.

Yes, I do believe in curses especially with diamonds. Diamonds are "Forever" and this allows their energy to transcend forever too. This is why it is such an honor to receive an engagement ring from a couple (like parents or grandparents) who have had a long and prosperous marriage; the diamond holds blessings in these instances. Likewise, it's a curse to receive an engagement ring from a 'Pon-shop' implying that the love will be ruined (often before the marriage --- blessing --- after the marriage --- curse).

Scientifically, diamonds are 'Carbon' which is the basis of all life. Tie the scientific with the mythical ... whoa ... intense ... basis of life which lasts forever (gulp).

With the information & theriories about the "Hope Diamond" it sounds like it had a powerful person (Queen) who implanted ill-begotten energy on the superstone.

Answer 3

No it is not. the story of the curse was a concoction by Lord Francis Hope (circa 1901) to make the diamond more sellable - he needed to sell it to pay his debts, and the diamond was worth more with a story attached to it. Mr. MacLean purchased the
Hope diamond for his wife because it had such an interesting history and supposed background. Sorry, no curse here..

Answer 4

coincidence, small sample size of owners who have had bad misfortunes happen upon them. The Smithsonian has not seemed to suffer the mishaps associated with the "curse of the Hope Diamond". incidentally have you seen it? it is a gorgeous sapphire and the necklace piece!
