The History of the Kohinor Diamond

The Kohinor made its first definitive historical appearance in the Mughal dynasty. In 1739, Nadershah of Iran staged a bloody conquest of Delhi. He wore it in his armband alongside the Timor Ruby - possibly even more valuable. The Great Mughal diamond is probably now known as the Orlov diamond. It wound up in her scepter and is now in the Kremlin.
