Supposedly, but this is a sort of dystopic bad luck charm. There are many unconfirmed angles of deception or repose here. There is not one documented historical tragedy linked to the Hope Diamond. It was temporarily missing during the French Revolution, but in no way did it cause the uprising. The Hope Diamond may well have been the inspiration for the Steinbeck novel, The Pearl, essentially a male variation. There have been attempts to link the Hope Diamond with the Titanic disaster but this will not float! The Titanic only made one ( disastrous) voyage, not counting test trials before entering service, and the Hope Diamond was never carried on the doomed ship- as it is currently in the Smithsonian Institution. a first edition of the Rubiyat of Omar Kayamm was on the doomed liner- and lost, but not the Hope Diamond. The Egyptian mummy story that is another matter.
