Heart of the Ocean - Facts and Fiction of the Legendary Titanic That Sank

The heart of the ocean has always caught the eye, and for females, I am sure it has captured your heart.   

One of the most iconic movies of all times in Hollywood is Titanic, known for its tremendous story as well as its link with the real tragedy of the titanic ship.   

What actually captures our hearts is the realisation that there are many stories that sank with that ship. In the movie, one such fictional story of a young couple can be seen, but out of everything, what actually makes it more interesting is the blue diamond.   

Blue diamond in the shape of a heart that Rose wore in the movie is one of a kind, called the heart of the ocean.   

In this blog, we will know all the facts and fiction about this gorgeous jewel - The Heart of the Ocean. 

Is the Heart of the Ocean real in real life?

Is the Heart of the Ocean a real thing? Is it a real diamond? Well, no, it is not. In the movie, the necklace is shown as a natural and very expensive blue diamond, but actually, it's just a prop.   

The necklace that you see in the film is actually cubic zirconia and white gold, not a real blue diamond. A real blue diamond is extremely rare, so the fact shown in the movie that it is highly costly is true; a blue diamond with such dark blue hues and transparency will be worth millions.   

Heart of the Ocean may have been just a movie prop when the film was in the making, but now it lives in our hearts.   

If you want to have a similar jewelry piece in your collection, you can get it customized with us at Navratan. You can choose a blue sapphire or tanzanite stone , which looks exactly like a blue diamond but is less expensive and get yourself the heart of the ocean.

How much is the Heart of the Ocean worth?

The Titanic heart of the ocean necklace is not real, but if it were, a 56-carat heart-shaped blue diamond would likely cost more than $500 million.  

According to beliefs, this story of the necklace was inspired by the Hope Diamond, a real-life blue diamond of 45.52 carats, which has a rich history. Originally discovered in India in the 17th century, the diamond was stolen during the French Revolution and couldn't be found for years.   

Today, its estimated price is around 350 million dollars.

The Real Story of the Titanic

It is a very real story of the ship that you see in the movie, which makes this movie grander. The movie was based on the incident, but the love story of Jack and Rose was fictional, and so was the diamond.
