The Most Cursed Gems Throughout History

When it comes to history's most cursed items, it's hard to think of anything more appropriate than cursed gemstones and jewels. This ain't just something that you see in the movies, folks. Sometimes, cursed gems are real.

The Bahia Emerald, the Black Prince's Ruby, the Black Orlov — these are all real gems with wildly fantastical names, and when you look at history, you can see all the tell-tale signs of tragedy that tend to surround them.

Some of these gems have been around for hundreds of years, and they've accumulated generations' worth of dark lore — and in some cases, a body count. These are history's most cursed gems.

Have you ever owned anything that you felt was cursed?

I love these videos on cursed diamonds but the videos are fables themselves. About 1000 other people who did not own diamonds also died at the guillotine. In regards to the British royals. The only thing unusual would be living into ripe old age. In a world with no vaccines, no antibiotics, and no healthcare based on science, dying at the age of 40 was considered normal. The average life span for a man in the United States in the 1700s was 35yo.

@3:20 It's not cursed. It became cursed. Shouldn't steal from the Gods or anyone. Its the principle of the matter.

Did anyone remember the Black Buddha? It's supposed to be in the safe on the Titanic. It's cursed as well.

I wore my dads yellow gemstone I think it was yellow sapphire I’m not sure of the name. But I swear down I felt like I had no confidence at all and I wasn’t t good enough and I didn’t think I was attractive . I was in my last year of high school when I wore it. I developed an eating disorder I felt like killing myself because I was so depressed and so unhappy with everything in my life. I felt unloved my my own family like they did t understand me a d I didn’t feel accepted. My dad kindly gave it to me to keep. I liked the look of it I didn’t know what effects it would do to me. I took it off very late by the time I was going to die because I was so skinny you could see my bones sticking out and I had earring disorder and depression. I could not sleep at all I had lots of hair loss. I had to cut it short up to my ears. So I took the ring off i don’t know what made me return it to dad. Maybe I was bored of it . But then thins stated to get better slowly and I’m full recovered now. I don’t like looking back but those years were one of the worst in my life. Especially high school I hated it so much way before and I left high school ages ago now. No one asked me if I was ok in my family. I was about to shave my hair off entirely. But o didn’t want to be laughed at for having no hair. I couldn’t cope the bullying in school or at home. My dad got worried and asked me if I was ok when I looked skinny as ever and hair was thinning out. It was very nice of him to ask me then I wish they understood how I was feeling before. I think it must’ve been because of that yellow ring.If I lie I die I’m telling the truth I recovered after taking the ring off.

All gems are just polished body parts of dead titans, giants, elves, trolls, faeries/ wickeds of old- killed in Gods flood. The different colours are formed when a body decays!

I have often wondered if gifts given are stolen or from pawn shop if they bring karmic debt..to the giver?

The orlov wasnt stolen by a monk. Damn colonists and their lies!!

How about kidney stones isn't it great that you can make all you want

Horrible reporting. You didn't even mention anything about the Black Prince Ruby not actually being a Ruby - it's a Red Spinel.
