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.

Some historians claim that diamond stud earrings date back to 2500 BC - 3000 BC. However, it was only the wealthy and royal families that could afford to wear them.

Those who could afford diamonds would certainly want to showcase them, which is why we see elaborate diamond earrings on the aristocracy in the 17th and 18th centuries. It wasn't until the 19th century that where diamond solitaires became the norm and most sought after for showcasing sophistication.
