Kohinoor Diamonds Tumultuous History Recalled
An Asia Magazine account traces the Kohinoor from its legendary names such as the Mountain of Light and Talisman of Kings to its obscure early history. The gem passed through Turkic and Indian rulers, vanished in 1930 with the slave dynasty, surfaced with Shah Jahan’s court, and now sits in the Tower of London among the crown jewels. The piece highlights the diamond’s elusive past and odd fates including being bricked, found inside a wall, discarded in slats, or tucked in a washer woman’s lapel.
