My two cents: it is carved in a Persian calligraphy style called Nastaliq and it is written backward so it can be used as a stamp and other form of authentication

@Ankur Dey Oh, Yes! I do remember!!! When I traveled the widths and depths Mother India some jewelry pieces on display were truly remarkable! Although, not being the jeweler myself I couldn't evaluate theirs quality. But they looked flabbergastingly amazing 🐳Please, have a nice Sunday 🌻

@Ankur Dey Good Morning! I am from Tula, the Russian Federation. Currently live and reside, sojourn here... And I do too have infatuation and passion for Jewelry. Remember, when I was little I liked to view, hold and play with Mama's and Grandma's jewelry, precious and not so precious items. ...It's like one of the Agatha Christie's stories: some items started disappearing from my apartment again. Like three minute screw drivers which I received as the present at the Rabbi Naftali Cuckier seminar. Several, quite a few years ago... I simply can't find them anywhere. My name is Petr Frizen and my contact numbers are: frizenpetr@gmail.com Tel: +7-915-6816904 If You write something about the jewelry art, please, if possible, let me read. Have a nice day! With the best regards, Petr

@Ankur Dey Great to hear from You, Sumon. I entered You as the contact. Have a nice journey ⛷Bon voyage 🖼

@Jason Bellini its a Spoil of war, it was not stolen but given as a sign of submission by the defeated maharaja. And the koh-i-noor is not on the Imperial State Crown But Queen Mary’s circlet.

Yusra Ilyas 😂😘lmfao those who have no leg to stand on result to name calling. And I don’t personally find bitch to be denigrating, So :P also you’ll find it serves you much better to learn how to thrash someone in an argument with intelligent conversation. The written above makes you seem deranged. And I’m not “justifying” anything, nothing needs to be justified. I am Simply stating legal and political fact. You wanna blame someone, blame the mughal maharaja who ceded it. No one demanded that specific diamond. He chose to give it up in deference to Queen Victoria during the treaty of Lahore. Funny how no one gets upset about how the Darya-I-Noor diamond had been ceded by Iran from India the exact same way. Except when Nader Shah gave the Indian crown back to the Mughal emperor he stole the entire Indian Treasury not just a handful of stones. Or how about the Orlov diamond which again was stolen by a Frenchman from a hindu temple and then sold to the Russian Count Orlov who gave it to Catherine the Great. It’s now on display at the Kremlin. Funny how the only thing that’s ever brought up are the British Crown Jewels. It’s almost like it’s not actually about the rock. How about crack a history book and look at records of the time from both sides. Ofcourse that would mean you’d have to read and not just be some Fake Woke protester, who clearly doesn’t know the facts, demanding something that was literally given away in 1849 due to military defeat. Therefore a spoil of war. Although, if it was about anything other than Hate of the British all of the aforementioned would be bitched about just as much as the Koh-I-Noor. But it’s not about “retrieving history” or “righting wrongs” you just hate the U.K. and that’s fine by stop lying and saying it’s about a diamond that was never “stolen”.

Jason Bellini they stole tea from India too, not just the jewels

Stolen? More like plundered fair and square. Winner takes all.

@@LaDivinaLover My dear, the British, specifically that damn Churchill is responsible directly for the death of 4.5 Million Bengalis in India. He literally induced a famine and asked why hasn't Gandhi died yet. I am simply stating a political fact. I don't see why he is celebrated because, to the families of those millions, he was no better than Hitler. I guess you can understand why one would be hateful if not despise the British. Apart from 4.5 million Bengalis, millions of Indians were raped, tortured and made slaves. The effects of those horrors are still felt to this day. Forget India, look at any other colony of the British, the story is the same. You have diamonds that are "spoils of war", but guess what you also have blood on your hands. Let us not forget what an inglorious empire it was. And let me tell you, we do not hate the UK, you guys hate yourself enough, so much so that you have voted to become a tiny set of islands in the middle of no where.

e c for because people now know the greed hiding behind those "appreciation" .

suga got no sugar look who’s projecting

Because they stole it from us. What we could have appreciated in our own country, like me who is a jewellery designer; now has to see such videos to "appreciate" my own heritage.

Kuhoo Not Kuhu it’s history how about let it go. People appreciate Indian culture and history, be happy and let’s appreciate this beauty together! (I’m not British)

Anjana Reddy it’s not like she stole it herself! It happened in the past, history has seen FAR more cruel things than the stealing of a bloody stone. Many artefacts original from a certain country ended up in museums in another country, and not just through colonialism. Countries have been conquered and exploited all the time, history is not just my friend. But these people who study them and make them known to the world bear absolutely no guilt, stop attacking them and appreciate beauty. Beauty has no borders or nation.

would love to know too - perhaps a symbolic key?

If u need gold plated emerald of mughal era.। Pls contact me

The merald piece is a sarpech and is worn only by men on their turbans during wedding pr other processions.

And yet you’re speaking English on a device that Anglo-Americans invented.

What the maharajas selling the jewels to westerners is robbing? What

@jim jam... Why would maharajas sell their jewellery... Learn your history right

How? 🙄🤦

@@cecilyerker what this have to do with the topic 🤦

Yes she is

Exactly

What do you mean?

Aelin White the jewels were stolen

Who is "they"?

Calling a lady hot actually sounds insulting to me.

Punjab?

Assam

yes?

Yesss

Sudhir Chopde they shit in their own sacred river, I don't think in a place like that these jewels should ever be kept

yes let us ask our diamond mines to create more kohinoor isn't it?

Ghanta persian style

The damage colonisation does is irreversible. Thank you

😂😂 sure

So they were ignorant about the value of their cultures before? Is that why “indigenous nations” struggled to keep their freedom?

It is a part of history and this is how it worked in the past You win a battle and you get all the money and gems If anyone should be blamed then that should be the indian maharajas

Stop being so salty

no.you are wrong

Yes he was a rich man, bit he also was a miser.

Emerald shut up

She didn’t go anything

@@Pk-wu9tl you shut up

How about no. If you don’t want your shit conquered and your jewelry taken as spoils of war, get a smarter and better army with better weapons. Otherwise stop being a sore loser and shut the fuck up.

@@cecilyerker we, the people, are coming for you and your thieving slave traders. You think being smart is going to save you, yet you lack intellect and humility and the knowledges you believe are power, are the same evidences to prove your inability to govern yourselves let alone anyone else. Bill Gates couldn't relieve computer maleware let alone covid, so take your own advice, and get the fuq outta here.

It called beach look. It's good on her I think.

@daphnenqpier1102 NOPE.. Don't whitewash our history because you were not told of yours

And now they’re clearly LOSING big time to India 🇮🇳❤ as well 😅🇬🇧👎🤪🥹💪🤨🦾😂🤛🏻🤣💯🖕🏼😻🙌🏻😽🫡😨🤦‍♂️ Life is beautiful, from God (Allah) Breathe 🧘🏻 🧘‍♀️ 🧘‍♂️ and take it all in, such beauty exists!!!! Alhumdulilah 🙏🏼🙌🏻😇💪🇮🇳🦾🧐🇺🇸👁️🗣️👣🤑🤑🤖👏🧐🧐😟

Because you idiots sold it for money!

@@cecilyerker aww we didn't sold but you looted from us.

😁

Jallianwallah bagh?? Bengal famine?? These are atleast everyone knew!!

Kanika Chaudhary this collection was bought by Qatari royal family. They are now selling a portion of the collection. Nobody fucking stole anything. If anything given the level of opulence and splendor the Maharajas enjoyed at the expense of vast swaths of Indians, I find it interesting that you would defend such an exploitative system.

Kanika Chaudhary shut up she’s not a thief lol

Aneesa Shah you’re a really ignorant person. What your comment basically equates too is “Rape is bad, but so much better to have my brother rape me, then some stranger. That would be much worse.” Just utterly asinine. And secondly as I stated before the jewels were legally BOUGHT by the Qatari Royal family - you know that very wealthy family that rules Qatar. Do you think these people would be buying stolen fucking jewels??? Their collection is massive - and they are selling a small portion of the jewels. Sotheby’s as an institution always provides the provenance of each item they sell. Had these pieces been looted from India, there would have been a huge issue around this, which more than likely would have involved the Indian government. So before you start vomiting garbage, get your facts straight!

Sneha I’m not part of the fucking problem - I’m neither European or English. We’re talking about this specific jewelry. If you want to start ranting and raving like a fucking lunatic about a video that has NOTHING to do with what you’re talking about - please go ahead and do so. I have no time for idiots.

So many salty Indians who are still pissed that the British so easily colonized them lol 😂 it's not even like it was that hard either

Cathy Baldry why? Why does it bother you so much? Her hair literally has not relevance to anything she’s saying. Go eat a snickers.

Beach look. And perhaps afraid of critique if she looks too decent.

The slander that you're doing is more of an offense.

such an ignorant twat! good grief!

Its still the truth. They stole it.

@@Kuhoochandra not all of the ones that are featured in this video. Most of these were made by Cartier for nawabs and maharajas, but when most of them started going bankrupt, they sold these off. I agree there are stolen things that originally belonged to India, but most of the ones in this video aren't. Also, that was history. Maybe don't blame the present for it
