The Koh-i-noor is controversial because of its disputed ownership. Since 1849 the diamond has been part of the British crown jewels. However, several countries, most notably India, have repeatedly demanded the return of the diamond, claiming that it was stolen. In addition, some view it as a symbol of colonial conquest. The British monarchy has attempted to quell the scandal by limiting the diamond’s usage.
