The Hope Diamond is the most famous blue diamond in history with provenance dating back to the17th century to King Louis XIV of France. The extreme scarcity of coloured diamonds have shrouded their existence in mystery. For the discriminating connoisseur the experience of beholding the intense beauty of a coloured diamond is often likened to a true epiphany. Coloured diamonds at auction continue to command the highest per-carat prices of any gemstone. The current lot is defined by its unadulterated pure blue hue.
