Koh-i-Noor Diamond: priceless
©Courtesy Royal Collection
One of the star attractions of England's glittering Crown Jewels, the fabled Koh-i-Noor ("mountain of light") diamond was set in the late Queen Mother's Crown. Discovered in the 13th century, the priceless 105.602-carat gemstone was first owned by the Kaktiya dynasty and controversially passed on, under dubious circumstances, to Queen Victoria in 1849.

The Indian government has been campaigning for its return since 1947.
