Diamond: April's Birthstone

If you were born in April, you’re in luck — your birthstone is the diamond, one of the most beautiful and iconic gemstones in the world.

Diamonds are known for their sparkle, strength, and timeless beauty. They’ve been loved for centuries and are often seen in engagement rings, earrings, necklaces, and more. Because of their durability, diamonds are often called “forever” stones — they’re strong, lasting, and never go out of style.

What makes diamonds special?

Diamonds are the hardest natural material on Earth. That means they’re not just beautiful, but also tough. This makes them perfect for everyday wear and long-lasting jewellery.

Symbolism

Diamonds are often seen as symbols of love, strength, and clarity. They represent purity and are believed to bring courage and positive energy to the wearer.

Fun Facts About Diamonds

Diamonds have been around for billions of years, forming deep within the Earth under extreme heat and pressure. They’re also the hardest natural substance on Earth, so tough that only another diamond can scratch them! Some scientists even believe diamonds might exist in space — with diamond dust being found in certain stars and planets!

Here’s where I love a bit of history knowledge! The tradition of diamond engagement rings started back in 1477 when Archduke Maximilian of Austria gave one to Mary of Burgundy. And while most diamonds are clear, they can also come in colours like pink, yellow, blue, and green — and the rare coloured diamonds are pretty much priceless.

Different Styles

While clear diamonds are the most common, they also come in colours like pink, yellow, blue, and even black. Whether you like classic sparkle or something more unique, there’s a diamond for everyone.
