#518105 - 09/23/09 10:50 AM The HOPE Diamond - finally freed!
MrsGotRocks MrsGotRocks Connoisseur Registered: 03/27/09 Posts: 1597	The Washington Post reports on the Hope Diamond unmounted and for public viewing. Contained is a video on this famous and amazing blue diamond. I saw this posted on PS and thought I'd bring it here. Could this be what Wenchie's buying? http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2009/09/23/AR2009092302062.html?hpid=artslot ETA - spelling Edited by MrsGotRocks (09/23/09 10:51 AM) _________________________ "Lucky I'm In Love With My Best Friend" - 16 wonderful years on 11/13/09!

That would explain why she's being so secretive about the whole thing and willing to sell her precious museum quality Tanzanite. Afterall she did say the mystery piece is an antique $\:\)$

I know, Mrs. Mike. It looks Art Deco-ish to me and a bit busy for me. The old mounting is much more classic. But doesn't it look beautiful unmounted? My hands would've been shaking holding that diamond! Probably would've fallen over in my chair and crushed it. Can you imagine?

MrsW MrsW The Centenary Diamond Registered: 09/17/03 Posts: 8881	Thanks for the link MGR! Here are a couple of pics for fun! One of my favorite stories about the Hope Diamond is when Mrs. McLean owned it and let her Great Dane wear it, supposedly she had a wacky sense of humor! _________________________ MrsW's DB listings
