History
While in Rome, Ezio Auditore procured three Indian diamonds as a favor for the blacksmith of Tiber Island, receiving in return a couple of pieces of the Seusenhofer Armor.[1]
The Koh-I-Noor
- Main article: Koh-i-Noor
The Isu Piece of Eden Koh-i-Noor takes the form of a great diamond and has traded hands a number of times in recorded history.[2][3][4]
In 1830, Ranjit Singh acquired the Koh-i-Noor diamond, serving as its keeper for nine years. He hid the real artifact in a secret chamber beneath his summer palace and wore a copy of it on his wrist. During a feast at his summer palace in 1839, the Maharaja handed Bustee Ram the copy, and told him to take it to his treasure chamber under the palace.[2][5] [6]
In 1850, a replica of the diamond was confiscated by the British East India Company and became part of the British Crown Jewels when Queen Victoria was proclaimed Empress of India in 1877.
