The Hope's history is cloudy with no precision given as to year this diamond was first picked up by a human hand. From Wikipedia:
"Several accounts, based on remarks written by the gem's first known owner, French gem merchant Jean Baptiste Tavernier, suggest the gemstone originated in India, in the Kollur mine in the Guntur district ofAndhra Pradesh (which at the time had been part of the Golcondakingdom), in the seventeenth century. It is unclear who had initially owned the gemstone, whether it had been found, by whom, and in what condition. But the first historical records suggest that a Frenchmerchant-traveler named Jean-Baptiste Tavernier obtained the stone, possibly by purchase or by theft, and he brought a large uncut stone to Paris which was the first known precursor to the Hope Diamond.
