History: Natural White Topaz stone has its respected place in history. It has been mentioned in Biblical and Hebrew texts. The ancient Greeks believed that the genuine White Topaz could bring the power to be invisible to the wearer. It has been used by travellers to be protected and safe in the journey.

Silver was discovered after gold and copper about 4000 bce, when it was used in jewelry and as a medium of exchange. The earliest known workings of significant size were those of the pre-Hittites of Cappadocia in eastern Anatolia.

The term sterling silver denotes any silver alloy in which pure silver makes up at least 92.5 percent of the content. One theory is that the word sterling comes from the name Easterlings—coiners from east German states brought to England during the reign of Henry II (1154–89) to improve the quality of the coinage.
