The mysterious shine of precious stones and the cold smoothness of silver and gold have fascinated people for a long time, so jewelry is always a welcome gift. But some of the jewelry went down in history as the damned, bringing grief and even killing their owners. It is unlikely that now someone wants to possess them.
1. The Hope Diamond, a delightful blue walnut-sized stone that is worth $ 250 million. Legend has it that the diamond was found in India, transported to France, then to the UK, and then to the United States. The owners of the stone were accompanied by troubles: they went crazy, suddenly died or were killed. The Hope Diamond rightfully bears the title of the most famous cursed stone.
2. A ring with a purple Delhi sapphire was accompanied by a curse note. An Englishman who received a ring from India went bankrupt, and all his family members fell ill at the same time.
3. The Kohinoor diamond. The name of the stone is translated from Persian as "mountain of light", and the stone is "angry" only at men. Several of its owners were overthrown from their thrones, but after that the diamond began to be used only in women's jewelry. Now he is in the crown of Queen Elizabeth II.
