“Orlov the Black.” A legend states that the diamond known as “Black Orlov” was taken from the Indian Brahma statue’s eye socket. Jokes with gods are considered wicked, and thieves have not been favoured by them since ancient times. The story goes that Princess Nadezhda Orlova, whose name was given to the black diamond, bought it and promptly committed suicide by plunging from a rooftop.
