The Titanic necklace more famously known as the blue diamond necklace that was worn during the 1997 movie version of Titanic was one of the most memorable piece of jewelry in history. But, little to we know that it was worn by a survivor of the tragedy named Kate Florence.
The Heart of the Ocean which it was named after the ship sank was a fictional name for the jewelry piece. It was supposedly designed to look like the Hope Diamond which has never been to the sea.
But, Kate Florence has her own version of the Heart of the Ocean which was given to her by Samuel Morley with whom she was married to. Samuel Morley never got the chance to see his wife wear the Heart of the Ocean outside the Titanic as he is one many lives lost in that fateful tragedy.
That similar blue diamond necklace was also featured in the 1943 version of the movie of the same title. There were other versions of the story of the necklace. From that movie, it went missing and was the cause of the rift between the two lovers.
If you are to visit a Titanic museum, you will easily spot that the Titanic necklace has become one of the many popular souvenirs. But, there are other jewelers who find a fortune by replicating such piece of art.
Within the film, the Titanic necklace was made by a London based jeweler for only $10,000 but Kate Florence's Titanic necklace was a lot expensive to a point that it reach $3.5 million. It was then sold to an auction where it landed on to Celine Dion's neck.
During the 1998 Oscar Awards, Gloria Stuart wore a similar necklace fashioned like the Heart of the Ocean that cost about $20 million to create.
No matter what the history is with the necklace, it is a symbol of everlasting love that not even the depths of the ocean can contain. It has been known that this piece of art has long been in the public eye for more than a few decades back.
