History: White Topaz history spans thousands of years , tracing back to ancient name origins like the Greek island Topazios, and the Sanskrit word tapas. Ancient cultures valued clear and colored topaz varieties for protection, healing, and mystical powers.

Silver was discovered after gold and copper about 4000 bce, when it was used in jewelry and as a medium of exchange. The earliest known workings of significant size were those of the pre-Hittites of Cappadocia in eastern Anatolia.

The term sterling silver denotes any silver alloy in which pure silver makes up at least 92.5 percent of the content. One theory is that the word sterling comes from the name Easterlings—coiners from east German states brought to England during the reign of Henry II (1154–89) to improve the quality of the coinage.
