Recent research has shown that not only are these two separate gems, but also that the story of once being owned by the Ruspoli family and having been acquired from a wooden spoon seller in Bengal are both apocryphal tales with no basis.
A dispute over the sale was settled by a court-ordered auction in 1813, leaving a clear paper trail of this gem's history.
From there it passed through the hands of a well-known Parisian jeweler named David Achard who then apparently sold it to Henry Philip Hope (of the Hope Diamond fame).
From there it passed into the Russian Crown Jewels and then to Queen Marie of Romania.
Her daughter sold it to a "famed New York jeweler" in 1950, and its whereabouts from that point on are unknown.
