What is the oldest diamond in the world?

1 Answer
The oldest known diamonds in the world are Diavik and Ekati diamonds. Both come from mines located in Canada. Scientists have determined that these diamonds are between 3.3 and 3.5 billion years old. They actually predate the point in the Earth's history before oxygen levels rose high enough to support life. On 1stDibs, shop a wide variety of diamond jewelry.
