Some people think that this diamond was first discovered more than 5,000 years ago and is called Syamantaka jewelry in Sanskrit works, but the earliest conclusive record can be traced back to 1526, when it was owned by Indian conqueror babur.

Rose-cut diamonds were re-cut into bright oval shapes because they failed to impress at 185 1 Expo. Since then, it has become a part of the royal gem.

But the British did not take these accusations seriously, claiming that the Indian king gave them to Queen Victoria. Unsurprisingly, this reaction did not satisfy the people who thought it should be returned, so the dispute about its ownership continued.
