It is no secret that diamonds are the most well-known and sought after gem in all of the world. Those born in April have this adored and loved precious gemstone as their birthstone! Although diamonds are most notably found and recognized as a stone for engagement rings, diamond jewelry can be found in an array of stunning options from earrings, bracelets, necklaces, and more! April babies share their beautiful and extravagant birthstone with the world to celebrate many occasions.
This gem is thought of as a symbol to bring those who wear it clarity and strength. The name diamond comes from the Greek word “adamas,” which translates to “unbreakable”. Diamonds have been coveted by royalty as early as fourth century BC. Fast forward a bit and by the 1400’s diamonds were found in fashionable pieces and were worn by Europe’s elite and best-dressed. The first ever known diamond engagement ring made its debut in 1477 as it was given by Archduke Maximillian of Austria to Mary of Burgundy.
Diamonds form in the Earth’s mantle (around 100 miles beneath the surface) and take hundreds of years to form under the extreme pressure and heat. The chemical composition, formation process, and isometric crystal structure are what make diamonds even more unique and extraordinary. Plus, they are also the hardest natural material on Earth with a rating 58 times harder than any one thing in nature. With that, they rate a 10 on the Mohs Hardness Scale, making it an ideal stone to wear in everyday jewelry due to their resistance to being scratched, chipped, or broken. When worn with care, diamonds will outlast the car you drive, clothes you wear, and even other jewlery pieces!
The options are truly endless when it comes to April birthstone jewelry... earrings, rings, pendants, bracelets, chains, and so much more! If you are looking to gift a diamond for any celebration shop our most-popular gift selections below or browse our online selection HERE.
