The Hope Diamond was given to the Smithsonian Institution in November 1958 by Harry Winston. The rare 45.52 carat deep-blue diamond was cut from a stone found in India about 350 years ago and was once part of the French crown jewels. It was also involved in a dramatic theft, and according to some legends, might even carry a curse.
