The Hope diamond gets a makeover

From Zales? Seriously, that is one crappy-looking necklace. What, the Robbins Brothers were too busy? According to Luxist: The 45.5 carat blue diamond has been removed from it's regular platinum setting – where it is surrounded by 16 cushion-cut diamonds and suspended from a bejeweled chain – so that it can be wrapped in tinfoil and called "modern." Or something like that. I hope the diamond's late owner, Evalyn Walsh McLean, rises up from her grave and eats the soul of whoever designed this. Some things do not need updating. The Hope Diamond is one of them. Hey, let's give the Mona Lisa bigger tits while we're at it! Put some robot arms on the Venus de Milo! It's madness! Criminal! Vulgar!
