History: The history of Apart dates back over four decades. In spite of a difficult economic environment, the fierce passion and determination combined with extensive knowledge, skills, and a strong desire to create beauty paved the way for Apart to become a major jewelry brand, leading the Polish market and gradually taking over foreign markets. It is a truly exceptional story, which started in 1977, and still manufactures jewelry today. 

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.

Although the origin of white color gold dates back to 1710, where it was discovered by two alchemists in Germany, it wasn't used widely until much later. White gold as we know it today was really popularised in the 1920s. Although it might seem strange, this luxury material came to popularity in wartime.
