The Hope Diamond, the biggest blue diamond ever found, was formed over a billion years ago in southern India. Variously described as the colour of the sky just before night, the ocean at its deepest and the hour before dawn, its discovery and history have become shrouded in interweaving layers of legend and for many years it is thought to have adorned a divine statue of a Hindu deity. But it has changed ownership many times since the French merchant Jean-Baptiste Tavernier first procured it. From its early mystical setting it passed into the political and material world of the court of the Sun King, Louis XIV of France, and there it stayed until the French Revolution brought an end to that monarchy. When Philip Hope acquired it the diamond took his name, but more often than not its reputation has been more one of ill fortune than of hope. Death and disaster have dogged some of its owners and the diamond has been at the heart of marital discords and social climbing. This is much more than a straightforward history book, it is the biography of one of the most spectacular diamonds ever seen. Marian Fowler invests the jewel itself with a powerful presence and a personality - anyone who has touched the stone, much less owned it, has been affected by the experience. Even today, from its secure glass vault in the Smithsonian's National Museum of Natural History, its incredible beauty has the power to mesmerize the onlooker. In keeping with its subject this gem of a book also has the ability to dazzle and delight its readers when it conjures up the glittering array of characters who have seen the Hope Diamond and desired it for themselves.
