Diamonds Are Forever...
This historically correct replica[ looks just like the real thing, but everyone knows there is only one Hope Diamond, and none of us will ever see anyone wearing it!
The original Hope diamond was initially 112 carats and was ultimately cut down to 45 carats. Originally designed as a headpiece, 1911 purchaser and Washington socialite, Mrs. Evalyn Walsh McLean had it converted into a pendant.
