“The “Orlov” diamond, circa 200 karats. Found in India. Named after Count G. G. Orlov. Kept in the Diamond Vault of the Muscovite Kremlin. “It has preserved the ancient Indian cutting shape from the very time of the Great Moguls in India. There are many legends and fairy tales that concern this famous stone” It is curious that initially the “Orlov” diamond “bore the name of ‘Great Mogul’”
From “India” to the Kremlin via the Romanov?
One thought on “Who Originally owned the Orlov Diamond?”
