In the picture above, the old Ruth holds the "heart of the ocean".

It has such a legend: "Louis XVI has a crown and a diamond, which disappeared in 1792. It was almost a year of his guillotine. Some people said that the diamond was divided. The diamond was re-cut into a heart shape. It is called the heart of the ocean." This gem that makes the girls mad and full of heat is the huge dark blue "heart of the sea" in the movie "Titanic".

The prototype of the "heart of the sea" that exists in the movie is the blue diamond of hope above.

In fact, the so-called "Ocean Star" diamond does not actually exist. However, its story background does borrow the famous gems in the real world - "Hope" blue diamonds. Louis XVI once owned a diamond called "The Blue of France", which was stolen during the French Revolution and has since been missing. It was not until 1812 that a "hope" diamond appeared in London, and it was finally confirmed that "hope" was cut from "Blue of France". However, as early as a few decades ago, this famous diamond has been settled in the Smithsonian National Museum of Natural History, and Cameron may not be able to borrow as a prop for filming.

I don’t know if it’s intentional or not. Director Cameron’s prototype of “The Heart of the Sea” is called “Hope”.

Unknown color of the doom. It also heralds the ending of the male and female protagonists.

After the vicissitudes of the French Revolution, this blue diamond was stolen in the French treasury in 1792. After being re-cut once, it was re-emerged in the London jewelry market in 1830. In 1911, it drifted to the United States and was taken by McLaren, the head of Washington Post. Someone told Mrs. McLean that "Hope" is a diamond that would bring bad luck. Mrs. McLean did not take it for granted. She often wears this drill to show her wealth. In the second year of the blue diamonds entering the McLaren family, their son was killed in a car accident, Mr. McLean and his daughter died, and Mrs. McLaren died in loneliness in 1947.

In 1958, American jeweler Winston bought the entire jewelry heritage of Mrs. McLean and became the new owner of Blue Diamond's "Hope". The miracle happened, the Winston family was not only safe, the jewelry business became exceptionally good, and later developed into the world famous diamond brand "Harry Winston". Later, Mr. Winston donated the "Hope" diamond to the country, now at the Smithsonian Institute in Washington, DC. Since then, the "hope" diamond has stopped working for hundreds of years.

The deity of the "heart of the sea" is the tanzanite in the picture above.

Coincidentally, when Tanzanite was first discovered, Zoisite was almost the same as English suicide, and many people were afraid to wear it because they feared its name. It was not until Tiffany found that it was named after his hometown Tanzan, and Tanzanite really entered people's lives. When people can't resist the temptation of this gem, it has a nice name "Elisabeth Taylor's eyes."

Tanzanite refers to the gem-grade blue zoisite, also known as Danquan stone in foreign countries, which is a silicate mineral. Only in the region of Mount Kilimanjaro in Tanzania, East Africa, this gemstone is produced in a 4 km long and 2 km wide area. This is a young and young gem. Tanzanite was formed about 580 million years ago. In the long years, it has been buried deep below 2 km. However, it is a very young one. Gems, 50 years ago, no one has ever discovered such a gem with beautiful blue and purple colors.
