From another angle:

The Crown Jewels (of any country that has them...)

The Regent: First found in Southern India, it was owned by William Pitt, the English Prime Minister and then the Duke of Orleans, Regent of France. It was later set in the crown of French King Louis XV. After the French revolution, the diamond was set in the hilt of Emperor Napoleon?s sword. Currently in the Louvre, France.

Various, with pictures:

The Blue Hope: Once owned by King Louis XIV, it was later bought by Henry Philip Hope of London. The diamond developed a reputation for bad luck since all members of the Hope family as well as its later owner Mr. Edward Maclean died in poverty. It is currently in the Smithsonian Institution in Washington.

Koh-I-Noor: First believed to have been set in the peacock throne of the mogul ruler Shah Jehan, is presently among the British crown jewels.

Taylor-Burton: This one, named after the legendary movie couple, was bought from Cartier by Richard Burton for Ms. Taylor. When they later put it up for sale, prospective buyers had to pay $2500 just to cover the cost of displaying it!

Tiffany: It is a famous yellow diamond, got from the De Beers mine of South Africa and later bought by Charles Lewis Tiffany, the famous Fifth Avenue jeweler.
