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.
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.
Libco is the trademark for a third generation family business established in 1959. The founder learned his craft in his native city, Pforzheim, Germany, a European centre of fine jewellery making. Today, it is one of Canada's premier and best-known jewellery manufacturers.
