April " The Diamond Month"

People born in April are blessed with the king of gemstones, the diamond. There is much history behind the birthstone of the diamond as well as all of the other birthstones. Legend has it that religious men wore breastplates containing twelve gems. Each of the gemstones were connected to the Zodiac signs and each is associated with a specific month. It became custom for people to wear the gem associated with their own birth month all year long. The diamond is Aries Zodiac Gemstone for birth dates between March 21 – April 19.

The diamond is the hardest natural substance known to man. For this reason, there’s no doubt why this particular gem is used for wedding sets and Engagement Rings today. The diamond is a symbol of the endurance of love and the diamond itself is truly everlasting.

The sparkle and beauty that can be seen in diamonds will never fade. It has often been described as being like a thousand stars in the sky. Perhaps this is why the American National Association of Jewelers selected diamond as the official birthstone for the month of April in 1912. Some have said it was purely for commercial reasons, however this hasn’t stopped millions of people from wanting a diamond regardless of their birth month.

Diamond has been around for millions of years. The diamond starts out as a piece of pure carbon, but Mother Nature’s force and power transform the rock into a beautiful, amazing gem. For those with their birthday in late March or the first two-thirds of April, they are very lucky indeed!
