Mughal diamond necklace up for auction next month

A mirror diamond necklace from Mughal times is expected to attract worldwide interest when it is auctioned next month in London.

Valued at £20 million, the necklace consists of five pendant diamonds that are of table cut or ‘parab’ design with a central stone of 28-carat dimension. Like the famous Kohinoor on the British Queen Mother’s crown, all these five diamonds are from the famous Golconda mines in Andhra Pradesh.

The London auctioneers responsible for selling the necklace are Bonhams, the same company that is also marketing a hunting gun that was made for Maharaja Dalip Singh’s son, Prince Victor Dalip Singh.
