Back then, the old mines were the primary sources of diamonds.
Andhra Pradesh’s Golconda mines in India were the primary source of diamonds. Historic gems like Koh-i-Noor and the Hope Diamond came from this region. Then, Brazil became the diamond hub.
The cut became especially popular in the Victorian (1837–1901) era.
