The city of Agra was established by the Mogul Emperors who made it their legislative center for more than a hundred years in the 1500s and 1600s until Aurangzeb, the sixth big shot sovereign exchanged the seat of the government to Delhi in 1658. It was in Agra that Akbar got a letter from Queen Elizabeth I of England and Jahangir issued a contract to the British East India Company in 1612, giving it opportunity to exchange India.

The Agra was reviewed by the Gemological Institute of America as a characteristically shaded Fancy Light Pink, Vs2 clarity precious stone. It measured 21.10 by 19.94 by 11.59 mm and weighed 32.34 carats. The story of the Agra Diamond starts in 1526 when Babur the first Mogul ruler (1483-1530) took ownership of Agra in the wake of crushing the Rajah of Gwailor in fight.

After his prosperity on the war zone, Babur sent his child and successor, Humayun, to involve Agra, an accomplishment he rightfully fulfilled all the while catching parts of the group of the killed Raja. Their lives were saved. It is said that as an interpretation of their appreciation they gave their captors gems and valuable stones. Since it is recorded that Babur wore the Agra Diamond in his turban, the stone was likely one of those gems.

It is likely that the Agra stayed in the responsibility for Mogul rulers on the grounds that Akbar (1556-1605), the third sovereign, was said to have worn the precious stone in his hood and Aurangzeb (1658-1707) had the stone securely stopped in his treasury

Later the Agra may have been among the plunder caught by the Persian, Nadir Shah, when he sacked Delhi in 1739. In the event that that were along these lines, then it must have been among the gems recovered when Nadir Shah experienced troubles amid the back home excursion in light of the fact that the jewel came back to India.
