Famous Diamonds: Legends and Mysteries


Introduction

Diamonds have fascinated cultures across the globe for centuries. Some of the most renowned diamonds have sparked tales of intrigue, theft, and even murder.

Koh-I-Noor: Mountain of Light

The Koh-I-Noor, meaning "Mountain of Light," is one of history's most famous diamonds. Records mention it as early as 1304. Originally weighing 186 carats and cut into an oval shape, it once adorned Shah Jehan's peacock throne as the eye of the peacock. During Queen Victoria’s reign, it was recut and became part of the British Crown Jewels, now weighing 108.93 carats.

Cullinan: The Largest Discovery

The Cullinan diamond is the largest ever found, weighing nearly two pounds or 3,106 carats in its rough form. This marvel produced nine major diamonds and 96 smaller ones. The most notable offspring is the Star of Africa, a current jewel of the British Crown. With 74 facets and over 530 carats, it holds the title of the world's largest cut diamond.

The Excelsior and The Great Mogul

The Excelsior ranks as the second-largest diamond, weighing just over 995 carats in its rough form. The Great Mogul, found in the 1800s, measured 793 carats. Named after Shah Jehan, the mastermind behind the Taj Mahal, it has since vanished, adding to its mystique.

The Blue Hope: A Legend of Misfortune

The Blue Hope diamond is infamous for its history. Once owned by Louis XIV and known as the French Blue, it disappeared during the French Revolution. Rediscovered in London in 1830, Henry Philip Hope purchased it, giving it its current name. The diamond's reputation for bringing bad luck stems from the tragic fates of the Hope family and Edward McLean, its subsequent owner. Today, it resides in the Smithsonian Institution.

Conclusion

These legendary diamonds continue to captivate, surrounded by stories of grandeur and mystery, and they remain treasured pieces of history.
