Golconda came to be known for its great wealth during the Renaissance and is still spoken with reverence among the deep pocketed, purist, diamond traders and collectors.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">According to Rahul Kadakia, head of Christie&#8217;s jewellery department, the historic diamond mines of Golconda are the &#8216;beginning of diamonds&#8217;. South African diamond mines were only discovered in the 19th century, until which point\u00a0the Golconda mines were the only source of diamonds for nearly 2000 years.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">Here are some of the world&#8217;s most well known\u00a0diamonds whose origin is traced back to Golconda:<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><strong>Darya-1 Nur<\/strong>: One of the world&#8217;s\u00a0largest and finest diamond is Darya-1 Nur or &#8216;sea of light&#8217;. It is a rare pale-pink, tablet shaped, 185 carats weighing stone, currently in the Iranian Crown Jewels of Central Bank of Iran. Experts speculate that this diamond was a portion from the Great Table diamond. Jean-Baptiste Tavernier, a French gem trader and traveller, made a note of this diamond during his time in Golconda in 1642.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_3465\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-3465\" style=\"width: 228px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"https:\/\/s3.us-west-1.amazonaws.com\/goheritagerun.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/07\/13094727\/Screen-Shot-2016-07-13-at-9.42.50-am.png\"><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-3465\" src=\"https:\/\/s3.us-west-1.amazonaws.com\/goheritagerun.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/07\/13094727\/Screen-Shot-2016-07-13-at-9.42.50-am-228x300.png\" alt=\"Photo Courtesy:: Wikipedia\" width=\"228\" height=\"300\" srcset=\"https:\/\/s3.us-west-1.amazonaws.com\/goheritagerun.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/07\/13094727\/Screen-Shot-2016-07-13-at-9.42.50-am-228x300.png 228w, https:\/\/s3.us-west-1.amazonaws.com\/goheritagerun.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/07\/13094727\/Screen-Shot-2016-07-13-at-9.42.50-am.png 393w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 228px) 100vw, 228px\" \/><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-3465\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Photo Courtesy:: Wikipedia<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p class=\"p1\"><strong>Hope Diamond<\/strong>: This deep-blue coloured, 45.5 carat diamond has travelled from the Golconda mines in India to France and Britain and is now in the\u00a0National Gem and Mineral collection at the National Museum of Natural History in Washington, D.C, USA.
