Behind Washington D.C. - The Museum of Natural History - Phase 6

Germs or precious stones are usually what ordinary people adore but seldom purchase even they can afford. It's meaningless to own so many jewelry if there's no occasion to show them off. So better appreciate these historical precious with other visitors closely.

In contrast to its name, the Hope Diamond did not give any hope to its previous hopeless owners. So the diamond was donated to the museum finally.


All were created by premium French craftsmanship. Gifts from Napoleon to his second wife.



This necklace combines diamonds and emeralds was owned by an Indian Maharajah. Is there any story behind?


Yellow diamond is rare. According to the never failed demand and supply theory, yellow diamond is thus highly priced. No wonder the value of this jewelry set does mean a fortune.


Followed by the drop of value from germs section to mineral section, the size of crowd was sharply reduced.
