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.

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.

In France during the eighteenth century, King Luis XV ordered that a diamond be cut in such a way that would resemble the lips of Marquise de Pompadour who was his lover. The cut that came from this demand has come to be called the Marquise cut. Jewellers sometimes refer to this cut as a Navette cut.

The baguette cut of stone was created in the early 20th century from about the 1920s to 1930s. This style of cut was born because of its functionality. When the baguette stone emerged onto the jewellery scene it was during the time of the Art Deco and Art Nuevo period.
