I've Given Up Hope

I know this is totally random but why will the Hope Diamond be reset? I know the setting it is in now is somewhat old fashioned but what difference does that make?



















There was a contest and people could vote on the new setting. I've seen the new setting and I think it looks just as old fashioned as the one it's in now. Plus, the new setting is just plain ugly.












The 45.52-carat blue diamond puzzles scientists because of the fiery red glow it gives off for several minutes after being exposed to ultra-violet light. Scientists refer to this phenomenon as phosphorescence.
