Koh i Noor Diamond Tale From Stocking to Crown Jewel

The Koh-i-Noor diamond, shipped from India as a gift to Queen Victoria 102 years ago, hid in an old stocking for safety during turmoil. Its long history traces to Mogul emperors, Nadir Shah, and the Peacock Throne, ending with its presentation to Victoria in 1850 and later re-cut to 106 1/16 carats at a cost of £8000.
