Was the Heart of the Ocean (Coeur de la Mer) a real diamond?

Titanic Heart Of The Ocean
No. The Heart of the Ocean diamond is a fictional device that James Cameron added to the plot in order to give Brock Lovett (Bill Paxton) a reason to hear Rose's story. The Heart of the Ocean is based on the famous Hope Diamond that King Louis XVI of France gave to Marie Antoinette to add to her jewelry collection

Were any of the passengers rescued from the water like Rose? - RMS Titanic

Officer Harold Lowe
Yes. Only two of the sixteen lifeboats went back to pick up survivors, and they ended up saving six. The first was Quartermaster Perkis in Lifeboat 4, who was able to pull 5 people from the water but only 3 survived

Captain Edward John Smith
In Robert Ballard's book, The Discovery of the Titanic, he claims that Captain Smith went to the bridge to await his fate at 2:17 A.M., three minutes before the ship went under completely.
This may have been partially based on the account of Philadelphia banker Robert W. Daniel, who claimed that just before he jumped into the water, he saw Captain Smith on the bridge, which was slowly being swallowed by the icy sea

Did some of the passengers choose to go down with the ship?

Isador and Ida Straus
Yes. Near the end of the movie Titanic, we see an old couple embracing in bed as water pours into their cabin. The couple is first class passengers Isador and Ida Straus (left).

Were the third class passengers really locked below as the movie Titanic suggests?

Third class passengers locked in Titanic

Did the Titanic's band continue to play as the ship went under?

Who sketched Jack's drawing of Rose that we see in the movie Titanic
