It is believed that the Kohinoor carries with it a curse and only when in the possession of a woman will the curse not work. All the men who owned it have either lost their throne or had other misfortunes befall them. The British are wary of this curse and so far, only Queen Victoria and Queen Elizabeth have adorned the gem as sovereigns. Since Queen Victoria the diamond has always gone to the wife of the male heir to the throne.
The possibility of a curse pertaining to ownership of the diamond dates back to a Hindu text relating to the first authenticated appearance of the diamond in 1306:
"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."

marie_2....don't tell me u didn't know about the Kohinoor on the British Imperial Crown!!! :-o
On March 29, 1849, the British hoisted their flag on the citadel of Lahore and the Punjab was formally proclaimed to be part of the British Empire in India. One of the terms of the Treaty of Lahore, the legal agreement formalising this occupation, was as follows:
The gem called the Koh-i-Noor which was taken from Shah Shuja-ul-Mulk by Maharajah Ranjit Singh shall be surrendered by the Maharajah of Lahore to the Queen of England.

...listen to the sound of silence....
arien....did u notice that she isn't sporting the Imperial Crown in any of the pics.guess it's too heavy for her dainty head.it's that one that boasts of the Koh-i-noor :-) Glad to have a feeling that the pride of India sits lofty on the head of the monarch of England! :-)
