Originally weighing in at 25.95 carats when it was found near the city of Hyderabad sometime between the 15th and 17th centuries, the natural rough diamond first traveled to the western city of Baroda (now called Vadodara). There, its fancy yellow color and high clarity were transformed into an antique pear shape of 24.04 carats (an impressively low weight loss given historic cutting techniques), suited perfectly for the royal headgear-or "pagri"-of Indian nobility.
