The name Kohinoor has long (since the late 1800s), been associated  
with premium objects. For example, my drafting equipment was all  
Kohinoor. My Rapidograph pens were Kohinoor. It appears that things  
British and finely made carried that name. It was sort of like  
Faberge, Tiffany or Revere, only better. I believe that the Kohinoor  
diamond wound up in the British crown jewels.

Back when I was 9 or 10, I started reading the encyclopedia, and this  
is all I remember about it. Next subject: You've heard of the Rosetta  
Stone? Well what about 'The Behistun Rock'.
