The Koh-i-noor was set in the crown worn by Queen Elizabeth the Queen Mother. My favourite: Pictures \| Towns \| Attractions

Is your the answer to your diamond question the Hope Diamond, housed in the Smithsonian in Washington, DC? My favourite: Pictures \| Towns \| Attractions

I'm glad you had a guess though Ruth. Another clue - You may see this in a sceptre! My favourite: Pictures \| Towns \| Attractions
