Modern women of fashion love bright and attractive decorations that transform the image and make it more spectacular. It can be both traditional products and accessories with a history. The heart of the ocean pendant, which became known to the world after the release of the movie “Titanic” in 1997, may well be attributed to the second variant.
What it is?
In 1997, the movie “Titanic” appeared on the screens, which tells about the crash of the ship of the same name and about the love of its two passengers - Rose and Jack. A large and beautiful pendant was presented to the girl by her rich fiancé whom she absolutely did not like. We can observe a spectacular pendant in the scene where poor artist Jack paints a naked Rose.
The famous jewel is a large heart of dense and deep blue color. The stone has a cut of shining crystals. This accessory is not really Cameron’s invention. The pendant itself and the fairytale stone have real prototypes.
Decoration history
This stone is also called "Hope." He is the rarest diamond of stunning colors. Experts say that at first it was larger. The pebble acquired its interesting shape and size as a result of faceting.
Beautiful suspension for the film was made of stone - tanzanite. The deposit of this mineral was found near the slopes of the famous Kilimanjaro volcano (Tanzania).
At first, this charming stone was used as an inexpensive substitute for blue sapphire. The situation changed after the release of the famous movie in 1997. Excellent and high-quality advertising made the mineral extremely popular. Soon the famous brand Tiffany took up the promotion of the jewelry.
Initially, the mineral wore a simple name - cyosite. But the word was very similar to suicide (zoisite / suicide).
Tiffany marketers decided that this could hurt their campaigns. After that, the stone became tanzanite. This name he received in honor of the country in which he was discovered.
The official appearance of the mineral under the new name coincided with the fashion for the American ethnic style. This fact has made tanzanite even more popular and desirable.
James Cameron has been looking for a worthy piece of jewelry for his film. He refused sapphires, which seemed to him too dull and boring. The director did not like the blue diamonds, which he called too dark. The long search led James to tanzanite, which attracted his unique color.
Features and benefits
Bright and attractive pendant boasts a huge variety of stories and legends that envelop it. Some say that the famous jeweler Cartier came up with the legend that the blue stone is cursed. Others - that it was stolen from the statue of the god Rama and now everyone who takes possession of the mineral - will die.
What is true, and that fiction is unknown. Only one thing is known: the beauty of the stone captivates and falls in love with itself at first sight. The main feature of tanzanite can be called its historical path and mysteriousness. “The heart of the ocean” gives the image not only romance and brightness, but also brings unique magical notes.
