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.

The history of Canadian diamonds began in 1991 with the discovery of the first diamond-bearing kimberlite by geologists Chuck Fipke and Stewart Blusson in the Northwest Territories, sparking a major claim-staking rush. This led to the opening of Canada's first mine, Ekati Diamond Mine, in 1998, followed by others like Diavik in 2003, and has since established Canada as a major global producer of high-quality, ethically mined diamonds.

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.
