The Orloff
Thsi diamond was 300 carats when discovered. Its colour is slightly bluish green. Clarity is exceptionallly pure with thus ‘Mogul-cut’ rose. Originating in India, this gem may be found in the Diamond Teasury of Russia in Moscow. There are so many historical episodes involving the Orloff. First, it may have been set at one time as the diamond eye of Vishnu’s idol in the innermost sanctuary temple in Sriangam, before being stolen in the 1700s by a French deserter.
