The Taj Mahal Diamond
Sixteenth-century emperor Shah Jahan owned the heart-shaped Taj Mahal Diamond, and gifted it to his favorite wife Mumtaz-i-Mahal four years before commissioning the construction of the Taj Mahal. The gem was another gift from Burton to Taylor on her 40th birthday and was auctioned for $8.8 million. (Credit Image: © wenn.com/wenn.com/KEYSTONE Press)
