Hope Diamond: $250 million (£196m)

Like the Mouawad Blue and Regent diamonds, the renowned Blue Hope Diamond is said to carry a curse, bringing misfortune to anyone who owns or wears it. Nevertheless, this hasn't put buyers off. Mined in India back in the early 17th century, the 45.52-carat rock has passed through a number of owners over the years, including King Louis XIV of France.
It's now the property of the Smithsonian Institution, a museum and research complex. It's estimated to be worth around $250 million (£196m) today.
