Birthstone of the Month of April

When a person questions you about the birthstone of the month of April, you can answer once, easily and strongly: a diamond. However, it is not only brilliance. This guide will help you find the reason why April is the month of diamonds, why they have been so throughout the ages, and how you can be sure to pick one that is really dazzling.

Why is Diamond the April Birthstone?

Diamond is regarded as a birthstone of April. The Gemological Institute of America says that people who were born in the month of April are fortunate enough to have their stone, which is, diamond, an embodiment of strength, vision, and unconquerability. 

The name was given to this mineral, which was a Greek word, adamas, meaning something invincible or unbreakable. That is a proper thing to be said of a gem that is considered to be the hardest natural thing on earth. 

Symbolism and History: A Vision of History

Diamond has a deep-rooted history. These stones were found in India, and the first mines thousands of years ago were treasured by the people due to their shining and magical nature. During the medieval era, Europeans were of the idea that diamonds would help them ward the evil, heal illnesses, or even prevent them from bleeding. They appeared to represent love and devotion over time, and this is why there was the custom of diamond engagement rings.

Diamonds to every person born in April (or to one giving to some) have a strong meaning:

• Strength & resilience:
  These have the symbolism of inner strength and perseverance due to their hardness and longevity.

• Purity & clarity:
  A clear, pure gem is the epitome of honesty and purity.

• Eternal love & commitment:
  Needless to say, this one stands the test of time: diamonds are eternal, and symbolize relationships that should last.

How to Choose & Care for Your Diamond

Choosing the Right Diamond

The 4Cs of a diamond should be taken into account when a diamond is picked. A fine-cut diamond cannot be dulled in a dim light. Where there is no perfection of the clarity or color, then the right setting (say pronged or halo) can often be the difference. In SKYGem, we are sure that you will find a stone that will shine in our real life and not in pictures.

Secondly, consider ethics, lab-grown or responsibly sourced natural diamonds would better suit values without compromising the beauty.
