The Diamond Fund is a unique museum within the Moscow Kremlin, housing an extraordinary collection of state jewels, precious stones, and gold nuggets. Established by Peter the Great, it features the 189.62-carat Orlov diamond, the 190-carat Shah diamond, and the imperial regalia including the Great Imperial Crown. Visitors walk through a secure, dimly lit hall where each gem glitters under spotlights. The collection also includes spectacular diamond-encrusted orders, jewelry, and nuggets of gold and platinum. It's a must-see for anyone fascinated by gemstones and royal history.
