India was the world's only source of diamonds until approximately the 18th century (mid-1700s) when diamonds were discovered in Brazil. Among the options, 1896 is the closest to this historical period. India's diamond mines (particularly in Golconda) were renowned worldwide until Brazilian mines changed the global trade dynamics.
