April Birthstone: The Diamond – A Gem That’s Forever
If you’re lucky enough to be born in April, your birthstone is none other than the diamond – the ultimate symbol of strength, clarity, and, let’s be honest, a bit of sparkle-induced envy. Whether you wear it as a statement piece or something more subtle, there’s no denying the diamond’s allure.
A Little History
Diamonds have been fascinating people for centuries. The name itself comes from the Greek word adamas, meaning “invincible” or “unbreakable” – fitting, given that diamonds are the hardest naturally occurring substance on Earth. Ancient civilisations believed they had supernatural powers, with some even thinking they were the tears of the gods or fragments of fallen stars.
Fast-forward to today, and diamonds remain the ultimate symbol of love, commitment, and luxury. From engagement rings to everyday jewellery, they’ve become a staple in any collection.
More Than Just Clear Sparkle
When you think of diamonds, the classic clear, colourless stone might come to mind – but diamonds actually come in a variety of hues. Natural fancy diamonds can be found in shades of pink, yellow, blue, green, and even the ultra-rare (and astronomically expensive) red. Each colour forms due to different trace elements or unique structural anomalies during the diamond’s formation. So, if you want to make a statement beyond the traditional, a fancy-coloured diamond might just be the way to go.
Why Wear a Diamond?
Beyond their beauty, diamonds have long been associated with strength, purity, and resilience. In crystal lore, they’re thought to bring balance, clarity, and even protection against negative energy. Whether or not you believe in their metaphysical properties, one thing’s for sure – a diamond is built to last, just like the best things in life.
