Have you wondered what the most gorgeous and expensive pieces of ornaments around the world are?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Some of them are timeless classics and their worth is celebrated over the years.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Hope Diamond<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The most expensive and perhaps the most famous jewel in the world is a 45.52 carat blue stone known as the Hope Diamond. Experts think its unusual blue coloring comes from impurities caused by trace amounts of boron atoms. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

It is thought to have come from the Golkonda mines in Southern India. In 1666, it was bought by a French gem merchant and was cut and renamed the French Blue, under which name it was sold in 1668 by Tavernier to King Louis XIV.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It is said to have bad luck but quite on the contrary its bad luck and curses have made it the most sought after jewel.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
