The Persian Prince Khosrow-Mirza was sent to St. Petersburg by the Shah of Iran as a gesture of apology following the assassination in January 1829 in Tehran of the Russian envoy Alexander Griboyedov and members of the Russian mission. This was to avoid war with the Russians and settle the diplomatic scandal. As a gift, he brought with him rich offerings to Nicholas I, including the Shah Diamond (a world-renowned gem, second in value in Russia only to the Orlov Diamond).
