Most Expensive Diamonds From India
1- Akbar Shah-
Carat- 116, later 71.7
Color- Colorless
Found- In India
An Indian diamond which became famous during the days of the Mughal Empire. A diamond with a roughly pear-shaped outline and random faceting, including two Persian inscriptions, the first reading “Shah Akbar, the Grand King, 1028 A.H.” (the letters mean Anno Hegirae). The second inscription read “To the Lord of Two Worlds, 1039 A.H. Shah Jehan“. The diamond was reportedly part of the original Peacock Throne. Purchased in 1886 in Istanbul by London merchant George Blogg, who re-cut it from 116 carats (23.2 g) to a pear-shape of 71.70 carats (14.340 g), thus destroying the historic inscriptions. Blogg was the last known owner and the stone’s whereabouts are presently unknown. To know more about this diamond follow the link- http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Akbar_Shah_(diamond)
