The history of this gigantic diamond dates back to the 13th century when it was first mentioned in a Hindu text. The piece translates to: “He who owns this diamond will own the world, but will also know all its misfortunes. Only God, or a woman, can wear it with impunity.”

Possession of the diamond has been associated with murder, torture, mutilation and other treacheries throughout history. The cursed object now belongs to the British Royal Family, who are aware of its past and careful to keep it in possession of the females.
