 | The 'Princie Pink' is 34.65 carats and was sold to a member of the Qatari royal family in 2013 at a jewelry auction at Christie’s for $39.3m. The cushion-cut fancy intense pink diamond was discovered 300 years ago in the Golconda mines. A lawsuit filed by an Italian family claims that Christie’s sold the diamond despite accusations that it had been stolen. An appellate court in New York delivered a ruling in favor of the descendants of an Italian politician who are trying to prove that the stone is rightfully theirs. |  |
 | Italian senator Renato Angiolillo's descendants said that he bought the stone at Van Cleef & Arpels in 1960, the same year that he married his second wife, Maria. Angiolillo died in 1973; the plaintiffs assert that under Italian law at the time, all of his possessions should have gone to his children, not his spouse, unless they were explicitly left to her. |  |
