Technically, the diamond isn't bad luck, it is widely believed and rumored to be bad luck.
The reason of this is because many people have died from the "Hope Diamond"/"Blue France" for unknown causes, all of which owning the diamond.
Due to this, a superstition was believed that the diamond is bad luck, and you will die eventually if you had owned the diamond. HOWEVER, if you read the "About" entry about the bad luck, you'd learn that the person who obtained it after buying in Russia, was not killed.
Many famous people have died because of this supposed curse, and it is now located in the Smithsonian Museum.
It could be bad luck, but chances are it is just a minor historic coincidental.

It is a fictional story, so it is not possible to appraise the item! when I read it in High School I got the fixed idea this was a Male version of the tales of the Hope Diamond, or an anti-Good Luck charm- a negative talisman of bad tidings. analyze the story and it seems to be a Male version of the Hope Diamond.

Is the hope diamond cursed?
Supposedly, but this is a sort of dystopic bad luck charm. There are many unconfirmed angles of deception or repose here. There is not one documented historical tragedy linked to the Hope Diamond. It was temporarily missing during the French Revolution, but in no way did it cause the uprising. The Hope Diamond may well have been the inspiration for the Steinbeck novel, The Pearl, essentially a male variation. There have been attempts to link the Hope Diamond with the Titanic disaster but this will not float! The Titanic only made one ( disastrous) voyage, not counting test trials before entering service, and the Hope Diamond was never carried on the doomed ship- as it is currently in the Smithsonian Institution. a first edition of the Rubiyat of Omar Kayamm was on the doomed liner- and lost, but not the Hope Diamond. The Egyptian mummy story that is another matter.
