History: Some diamonds undergo irradiation or both irradiation and heat treatment to obtain a blue color. These are much less expensive than their untreated counterparts and usually exhibit high saturation. Because these radiation and heat treatments are permanent, no additional care is necessary.
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.
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.
