Diamond Necklace

The movie Titanic has brought forth a lovely piece of art. The jewelry or the necklace worn by Kate Winslet at the 1997 movie has become one of the most popular piece of jewelry in the world. History has proven to us that Kate Florence, a survivor of the tragedy, has that same necklace worn on her neck during the trip.

The Heart of the Ocean or more appropriately known as the Titanic necklace was introduced during the film and was given as a gift. It was supposed to be a replicate of the Hope Diamond which in fact has never been brought to sea.

And it was Kate Florence who had the same necklace on her while she was onboard the Titanic. It was a gift from her lover for their marriage. Her husband, Samuel Morley, unfortunately did not survive the tragedy. The necklace can now be seen on different Titanic exhibits all over the world.

The 1943 version of the movie Titanic also had a blue diamond necklace but there was another version of how the story was told. The necklace was thought to be missing in the movie and was the cause of quarrel between the two lovers.

There are a lot of variations to that same piece of jewelry today. Some cheaper made replicas are made as souvenirs for Titanic museums. Some try to combine the design with other well known pendants.

During the filming of the movie, a London based jeweler was asked to create the piece of jewelry for about $10,000. But the real Titanic necklace costs up to $3.5 million right after the movie was released. It was then auctioned to benefit an AIDS charity and was later worn by famous singer Celine Dion.

Harry Winston made a $20 million Heart of the Ocean necklace for Gloria Stuart for her to wear at the Academy Awards which continued the great tradition of the necklace.

As we all know from the movie, the Heart of the Ocean necklace was not a mere piece of jewelry but it was a symbol of true and everlasting love. The necklace brought us back to how everything started.
