Our stunning homage to the legendary Hope Diamond had the Smithsonian double-checking their vault!

It's a wonder that the Hope Diamond survived the 20th century. In the hands of eccentric millionaire heiress Evalyn Walsh McLean, the 45 ½ carat deep blue diamond was treated more like a fancy plaything than a precious gem. McLean wore it on rollercoasters, while swimming and when doing yard work. She hid it underneath couch cushions and from time to time, even kept it inside her toaster!

These days, the Hope Diamond is the superstar of the National Gem Collection at the Smithsonian's Museum of Natural History. And even though the spectacular blue stone attracts millions of visitors a year, it looks lonely stuck behind that 3-inch bulletproof glass. So we decided to set it free.

Science recreates a legend of luxury. We challenged our gemologists to reimagine the largest and most perfect blue diamond in existence. They came back with the magnificent Eternal Hope Necklace, a lab-created beauty inspired by the $350 million original. Using the legendary Hope as their guide, they carefully cut lab-created blue spinel to closely match the color, shape and geometric angles of the world famous stone. And, because of our advanced science, our lab-created stone’s clarity is superior to the original.

The Hope Diamond remains one of the world's most unattainable treasures, but we've set the price of our Eternal Hope Set at an unbelievably accessible price!

When being called a “jewel thief” is a badge of honor. The final product is so convincing that it will surely have museum curators double checking their vault. Our update keeps the allure of the original, the magic that captivated Maharajahs, kings and queens.

The custom-cut stone is brilliant cobalt blue lab-created spinel. Spinels are considered the greatest impostors in gemstone history. One of the most valuable gemstones in the world, the Black Prince in the British Crown Jewels, was only recently discovered to be a spinel. They are favored by jewelers because of their brilliance and hardness. And the structure of a spinel is similar to a diamond -- they both have the same high symmetry (4/m bar 3 2/m).

Add the world's most famous rock band. Enhance the look of your stunning Necklace with the Eternal Hope Ring, a gorgeous ring version of the pendant stone, prong-set on a .925 sterling silver band. Flanked by 10 dazzling, lab-created DiamondAura®, the Ring perfectly complements the Pendant.
