The largest diamond in the world is the The Great Star of Africa, cut from the Cullinan. It weighs about 530 carats and sits in the sceptre of the British Crown jewels.
The Koh-i-Noor is about 1/5 the size (108ct).

The Cullinan Diamond, found by Frederick Wells, surface manager of the Premier Diamond Mining Company in Cullinan, Gauteng, South Africa on June 25 1905, is the largest rough gem-quality diamond ever found, at 3,106.75 carats (621.35 g). Although a carbonado found in Brazil weighed more than 3,600 carats (720 g), no gem-quality material could be extracted from it. The stone was named after Sir Thomas Cullinan, the owner of the diamond mine.
The Koh-i-noor or "Mountain of Light"; also spelled Kohinoor, Koh-i-Noor or Koh-i-Nur) is a 105 carat (21.6 g) diamond that was once the largest known diamond in the world. The Kohinoor originated in India, belonged to various Indian and Persian rulers who fought bitterly over it at various points in history, and seized as a spoil of war, it became part of the Crown Jewels of England when Queen Victoria was proclaimed empress of India. It is probably the most famous diamond in the world.
I had never heard of the Shalimar diamond, but a quick search suggested it was the one that was lost with the Titanic, and was not a particularly large diamond, and Natraj didn't return any results.
