History: The earliest diamonds were found in India in 4th century BC, although the youngest of these deposits were formed 900 million years ago. A majority of these early stones were transported along the network of trade routes that connected India and China, commonly known as the Silk Road.

Emerald gemstones were mined in Egypt as early as 330 BC, but some estimate that the oldest emeralds are 2.97 billion years old. Cleopatra is perhaps the most famous historical figure to cherish emerald gemstones.

Gold was generally used for a couple thousand years solely to create things such as jewelry and idols for worship. This was until around 1500 BC when the ancient empire of Egypt, which benefited greatly from its gold-bearing region, Nubia, made gold the first official medium of exchange for international trade.

White gold emerged in the 20th century as a popular alternative to platinum,  initially driven by its affordability and similar aesthetic appeal. While platinum was expensive and sometimes scarce, white gold offered a more accessible option while still providing a luxurious look, particularly for engagement rings and wedding bands. Its rise in popularity also coincided with the Edwardian and Art Deco movement, where its sleek, modern design complemented the era's aesthetics.
