Well here is the Ditz of the day question.

Is the Blue Hope a secure Museum piece or does it have a private owner?

Check out the Smithsonian's history of the Hope Diamond. It's a part of their collection, but it's said to also have a curse. It's quite interesting. And HUGH! I believe that it's a tad bit over 45 carats! And I'm ONLY talking about the blue diamond itself, not the total weight of all the diamonds in the setting.
