The Agra 阿格拉
德里回教政权灭亡后，1526年蒙兀儿帝国巴伯尔大帝（Babur）在印度建立蒙兀儿帝国，成为第一位君王。巴伯尔执政时，以北方邦的阿格拉（Agra）为首都。 阿格拉钻石第一次出现于1526年当第一个蒙兀儿皇族(Mogul emperor 1483-1530)打败了格温特国王(the Rajah of Gwailor)时期，蒙兀儿帝国巴伯尔大帝带着阿格拉钻石在他的头巾上。后来被偷运到英国。据说强迫马吃进肚里偷运的。到1844年，文莱公爵用大约$25000美金买下。阿格拉钻石经过多年转易，到1990年阿格拉钻石被放于伦敦佳士得拍卖公司(Christie‘s London)拍卖，最后在拍卖会上由一间公司透过香港苏富比拍卖行(SIBA Corporation of Hong Kong)用$4,070,000投得。 此阿格拉钻石被美国宝石学协会(Gemological Institute of America)评级为 Fancy Light Pink, VS2 clarity diamond. 21.10 x 19.94 x 11.59 mm, 32.34 carats.
The Agra was graded by the Gemological Institute of America as a naturally colored Fancy Light Pink, VS2 clarity diamond. It measured 21.10 by 19.94 by 11.59 mm and weighed 32.34 carats. It was expected to fetch £1,500,000 but after fierce bidding it sold for £4,070,000 (about $6.9 million). The winning bid was made by telephone and came from the SIBA Corporation of Hong Kong, the same company that owns the Allnatt Diamond. The total value of the gems and jewelry sold at this record auction was £12,900,000. Since that appearance the Agra has been recut to a modified cushion shape (and judging by photos, most likely a stellar brilliant cut) weighing 28.15 carats.
