What is the most famous diamond in the world?

I think that would be the Hope Diamond. It's not the biggest or most expensive, but over the years it's had a lot of press.


Where was the worlds only producer of commercial diamonds for 2000 years?

For 2000 years, the world's only producer of commercial diamonds was India, specifically the Golconda region. This area was renowned for its diamond mines, which yielded some of the most famous and valuable diamonds in history, including the Koh-i-Noor and the Hope Diamond. It wasn't until the discovery of diamond deposits in South Africa in the late 19th century that India's monopoly on diamond production was broken.


How much does the worlds largest diamond cost?

The biggest diamond found so far in the world is the Cullinan. It weighed 1.5 pounds, was 37/8 inches long, 21/4 inches wide and 25/8 inches high. The diamond was sold to the Transvaal Government for 150,000 pounds in the early 1900s. When cut, the Cullinan now exists as several fabulous stones in the British Crown Jewels, plus nine large jewelry diamonds worn by Queen Elizabeth II, which her family calls 'Granny's Chips'. Any one of these stones would sell for many millions of British Pounds Sterling if they were ever made available for sale, based on their carat-weight size, colour, clarity and cut. From the Houston Jewelry Web site: "Though intrinsically valued by some at somewhere around £20,000,000, the Crown Jewels are really priceless, for much of their true value lies in their symbolism and historical interest."
