History of Diamond

 

The romance with diamonds started about 2000 years ago, when they were made available in India. Until l729, diamonds came into the world only from India.                             

                                                                          

The earliest western account referring to diamonds is in the year 1292, by the great maritime adventurer Marco Polo.


In ancient India, the earliest reference to Diamonds is in the "Arthashastra" by "Kautilya" andwas continued upto the Mughal Dynastry. To this day, Diamond remain a most potent instrument of desire, captivating the hearts of millions of charming women all over the world.                                                                                               

                                                                                                                        

In early 20th Century Diamonds were discovered in South Africa and other African nations. Subsequently, Diamonds were discovered in the cold climes of Russia, Australia, and other parts of the world.


The modem era of Diamonds began after the second World War. Since 1962, it has been consumed widely by people other than Royal families and the truly rich folks.


With the arrival of the third millennium, the 2000 year old history of diamonds is expected to be rejuvenated.
