Interesting Fact:
The 45.52-carat Hope Diamond -- the world's largest deep blue diamond -- has a long and mysterious past. Scholars believe that King Louis XIV of France bought the Hope Diamond in 1668. After King Louis XVI and Marie Antoinette attempted to flee France in 1791 during the French Revolution, the diamond was turned over to the French government. |
