  • The Black Orlov is a black diamond, also known as the Eye of Brahma Diamond. It weighs 67.50 carats (13.500 g). The diamond—originally 195 carats (39.0 g)—is said to have been stolen in the early 19th century in India. It supposedly featured as one of the eyes in a statue of the Hindu god Brahma in Pondicherry, until it was stolen by a Jesuit cleric. According to legend, this theft caused the diamond to be cursed. In 1932, diamond dealer J. W. Paris reportedly took the diamond to the United States, and soon after committed suicide by jumping from a skyscraper in New York City. Later owners of the diamond included two Russian princesses, Leonila Galitsine-Bariatinsky and Nadia Vygin-Orlov (after whom the diamond is named). Both women allegedly jumped to their deaths in the 1940s. The diamond was later bought by Charles F. Winson, and cut into three pieces in an attempt to break the curse; the 67.5-carat Black Orlov was set into a brooch of 108 diamonds, suspended from a necklace of 124 diamonds. The diamond was purchased by diamond dealer Dennis Petimezas in 2004; Petimezas said he was "pretty confident that the curse is broken". The Black Orlov has been displayed at the American Museum of Natural History in New York City and the Natural History Museum in London. (en)
  • Le Black Orlov (Orlov noir) est un diamant noir dont la date de découverte reste inconnue. Cette gemme, estimée d'une grande beauté, aurait été arrachée à une statue (celle du Dieu Brahmā, située initialement à Pondichéry, est généralement évoquée) ce qui entraine selon les traditions locales, une malédiction pour son acquéreur. Afin de détourner cet effet maléfique, ce diamant aurait été retaillé en trois pierres récemment. Selon d'autres études, il est peu plausible que cette gemme soit d'origine indienne car aucune preuve historique ne permet de déterminer de la présence de diamants noirs dans cette région et sa retaille date probablement du XVIIIe siècle.

  • L'Orlov nero, noto anche come occhio di Brahma, è un diamante di 67,50 carati di colore nero opaco. Prende il nome dalla ipotetica principessa russa Nadia Vyegin Orlov, che ne sarebbe stata proprietaria negli anni '30. Il nome deriva invece dal conte russo Grigorij Grigorevič Orlov, che fu realmente proprietario di un'altra famosa gemma, il diamante Orlov. Il colore nero opaco è molto raro nei diamanti con qualità gemmologica (i diamanti neri sono usati quasi sempre per usi industriali), ed è dovuto al fatto che sono costituiti, diversamente da tutti gli altri diamanti, da milioni di piccolissimi diamanti inglobati assieme.

  • De zwarte Orlovdiamant, ook gekend als Het oog van Brahma, is een zwarte diamant van 67,50 karaat. De ondoorzichtige zwarte kleur is zeldzaam bij diamanten. Het is te wijten aan het feit dat ze, in tegenstelling tot alle andere diamanten, bestaan uit miljoenen kleine diamanten die samen zijn verwerkt. Zwarte diamanten worden bijna altijd gebruikt voor industrieel gebruik. (nl)
  • Чорний Орлов — чорний діамант, також відомий під назвою «Око Брахми». Чорний Орлов важить 67.50 каратів (13.500 г). Діамант, який першопочатково важив 195 каратів (39.0 г), був, ймовірно, відкритий в Індії в XIX столітті. (uk)
