stunning diamond arrives at Natural History Museum

A famous necklace of hundreds of diamonds, including nine rare blue diamonds, was installed at the National Museum of Natural History Monday. And just like its hefty neighbor, the Hope Diamond, the jewelry has an interesting history.
Nestled in white paper was the diamond necklace, radiating sparkles even before any light hit it. The silver necklace has a bow motif with 251 diamonds curving into the bow and then the ribbon-shaped arms. An oval-shaped pendant with a 2.6 carat blue diamond drops from the center of the bow, part of the 5.32 carat total of blues.
