The impact of diamonds in our life can be better understood when we

years old, this stone of the diamond hall of fame has its root in the
Hindu epic-Mahabharata. Originally was the treasure of the Rajah of
Malwa in India, but owing to its irresistible charm Kohinoor was
involved in many victories and defeats spanning India, Persia and
Afghanistan. From 1526 to 1739, it was in the possession of the great
Mughals, in the hands of famous emperors like Shah Jehan. After the
Mughals, Kohinoor was under the possession of the Persian
conqueror Nadir Shah for a brief period. Sooner it fell into the hands of
the Afghan rulers who eventually surrendered it to Raja Ranjit Singh of
Punjab. Later when Punjab became a part of British rule, the stone
was presented to Queen Victoria and from then on Kohinoor has been
the pride of British Regalia.
