Over the next 350 years, the diamond travelled the globe in the hands of kings, bankers, and thieves. Everyone who possessed this jewel met with misfortune and, in some cases, death. They were victims of the Curse of the Hope Diamond. SPONSORS! CBS All Access - Watch the Twilight Zone on CBS All Access. Visit CBS.com/UNEXPLAINED to redeem your FREE trial today and watch.
