Mughal Carved Emerald Necklace,

The necklace showcases five magnificent Colombian emeralds totalling approximately 1,150 carats, anchored by an extraordinary 470-carat centerpiece bearing the inscription of Ahmad Shah Durr-I Durran, founder of the Durrani Empire spanning Afghanistan and northwest India.

This historic provenance places the emerald among legendary companions — the Timur Ruby and the Koh-I-Noor diamond both bear identical inscriptions, a testament to their shared passage through the corridors of Mughal power from 1612 onwards.
