[*Ed. The Prince Consort Albert had the Koh-I-Noor recut for Queen Victoria, who wore it in various pieces of personal jewelry as a brooch, pendant, or other. It was set in a platinum crown for the coronation of Queen Alexandra in 1902. The crown was later worn by Queen Mary of Teck, and Queen Elizabeth II. In 1904, the diamond belonged to Queen Alexandra, and is seen here within the larger cross. Only women wear the Koh-I-Noor as, legend states, it brings bad luck to men wearers - including Bloom?]
