The main hints in the clue here are the nicknames for the object. The “violet” and “blue” refer to The Hope Diamond’s blue-violet coloring, while the “French blue” is the name that French merchant Jean-Baptiste Tavernier gave the gem after he bought it in India in 1666 and then had it cut.
After a tumultuous history where the 45-carat diamond was stolen and then found, the gem made its way to Harry Winston, a diamond merchant in New York, in 1949. He featured the Hope Diamond in an exhibition called the “Court of Jewels” before Winston was persuaded to donate it to the National Museum of National History in 1958.
