Crown Jewels of Persia
One of the largest diamonds in the world, Darya-ye Noor weighs 182 carats and was mined at the Golconda province, where the Koh-i-Noor probably also comes from. The name means "River of light" or "Ocean of light".
Its pale pink color is one of the rarest in diamonds.The diamond belongs to the Iranian Crown Jewels collection.
Like the Koi-i-Noor diamond in the British Royal crown - the history the Darya-ye Noor is just as violent and turbulent. It originally belonged to the Mughal Emperors of India, but was plundered by the Iranian invader Nader Shah in 1739 who brought it to Iran. There it passed from hand to hand as each dynasty seized the throne and took possession of the previous rulers' treasure.

Especially noteworthy was Fat'h Alli Shah Qajar, who inscribed his name on one of the facets of the diamond. Almost a hundred years later, during the 19th century, Nasser-al-Din Shah Qajar often wore it on an armband or a brooch, and his successors used it to adorn their hats. Entrusting the diamond to high officials was a sign of honor.

Eventually the Darya-ye-Noor was mounted in a frame with crown, lion and sun motifs, enhanced by 475 smaller, various colored diamonds and 4 rubies.
