Meaning of the word

SAPPHIRE, -A, Muzhkoy road
Blue or light blue colored gemstone. – Look, Shulamith, at these sapphires. Some of them are similar in color to cornflowers in wheat, others to the autumn sky, others to the sea in clear weather. Kuprin, Shulamith.

Sapphire (from the ancient Greek σάπφειρος (sappheiros) – blue stone, possibly from Hebrew ספּיר (sapir) or Persian name with the same meaning) – a gem of various shades, one of the varieties of corundum. In mineralogy, sapphires are exclusively blue corundums; in the jewelry industry, they are any colors except lilac-red (such stones are called rubies). The blue color of sapphire is caused by the presence of impurities of titanium (Ti) and iron (Fe). In the old days in Russia sapphire (or sapphire), like other valuable blue minerals, was called baus.

There are synthetic sapphires that are widely used in technology and jewelry. Both optically transparent, colorless, chemically pure sapphires (leucosapphires) and those colored with various impurities are synthesized. Artificial sapphires were first synthesized in 1904 by French chemist Auguste Verneuil.

Sapphire is an aluminum oxide (chemical formula Al2O3).

In 1997, American director James Cameron gave the world the amazing film Titanic. This is an incredible story of a touching love between two young people, which takes place against the backdrop of one of the most horrific disasters of the last century.

Necklace Heart of the Ocean: story from the film and reality

Let’s start with the main characters, whose love story was directly related to the golden necklace. The girl Rose from a noble family goes on a journey with her fiancé Caledon and mother Ruth. Already on the ship she meets a young artist named Jack. He shouldn’t have been on the ship because he couldn’t afford a ticket. But literally on the day of departure, he wins a ticket from a potential passenger. Feelings immediately flare up between the young people, which makes Caledon very unhappy. In order to somehow return Rose’s interest and show her that he can provide for both his future wife and her mother, he gives the girl the Heart of the Ocean necklace.

Possible prototypes of a luxury diamond

We got acquainted with the story that the director decided to reproduce in the film, but where did the connection with Louis XVI come from? Experts say that this was already Cameron’s pure invention. However, there are two diamonds that can be considered to some extent prototypes of the stone from the Heart of the Ocean necklace:

  • Hope diamond (or Hope diamond);
  • blue diamond with unknown history.

Diamond Hope is the most likely prototype of the Heart of the Ocean

This stone has a long and even tragic history. It was presented to the King of France by the famous jeweler Jean-Baptiste Tavernier. It is believed that the stone originally adorned a statue of a Hindu deity. The royal family kept the diamond until the end of the 1830th century, and then disappeared. In the XNUMXs, a similar stone, but smaller in size, was acquired by a British man named Hope. From the family of this Englishman, the diamond came to the Turkish Sultan, then Pierre Cartier bought it and created a luxurious necklace based on it. In the form of a finished product, the stone managed to be the property of several other people, and is now in the Smithsonian Institution.

This piece of jewelry is similar in color and size to the Heart of the Ocean necklace, but the shapes of the diamonds are different. Why can’t the Hope Diamond be a real diamond from the real Titanic? At the moment, historians have already proven that the Hope Diamond at the time of the tragedy belonged to Evelyn McLean, who bought it in 1911. The diamond is often called cursed, so this was one of the reasons for its sale.

Mughal Blue Diamond

The second theory has fewer fans, especially among historians, but also has a right to exist. It is believed that the prototype could have been the pendants of the Mughal emperors Akbar and Jahangir. The history of this decoration is even more confusing and mysterious. This is a large stone that resembles a heart. It was last seen and then sold at a British auction at the end of the 20th century.

It was a 13,75 carat blue diamond. It was sold for 7 million and 791 thousand US dollars. Now the owner and whereabouts of the gem are unknown.

Modern copies of the Heart of the Ocean necklace

Some jewelers, looking at the photo of the Heart of the Ocean necklace, had a great desire to make a copy. And today there are quite a lot of such replicas. The official copies are those produced by the J. Peterman Company – they cost about $200, and after the bankruptcy of the company, the price doubled. The most famous replica is considered to be the model created by Harry Winston. It features a 2 carat diamond.

It was this necklace that Gloria Stewart wore to the Academy Awards when she was nominated for Best Supporting Actress. In the film she played the elderly Rose. It is interesting that the actress, like her character, lived to be 100 years old, and was born two years before the shipwreck.

The heart of the ocean is a necklace with a unique history. It was able to go far beyond the plot of the film and become an independent decoration. If you want to find the original Heart of the Ocean necklace, you will have to turn to private collections. By the way, during the filming they used 3 necklaces, not just one. And they were made of different materials (platinum and white gold), and the role of the blue diamond was “played” by cubic zirconia and sapphire. Two of the three necklaces are now in the possession of private collectors, and the third disappeared after the bankruptcy of the J. Peterman Company – the company paid them off for its debts.
