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.

The Columbia Jewelry Company was established in 1898 in Boston, Massachusetts, by Frank E., John J., Anthony, and Felix Viano. Initially a partnership, it grew from a small Medford Street shop to a larger North Cambridge manufacturing plant by 1900, specializing in jewelry and novelties. The firm was incorporated in 1909 and expanded to become a significant regional manufacturer with over 100 employees.
