If you are lucky enough to have a birthday in April, the diamond is not only one of the most sought after gemstones for reasons such as clarity, color, and strength, but it is also represented as the birthstone of April.
Birthstones are believed to have originated during biblical times, representing the twelve tribes of Israel on the breastplate of Aaron. With such a rich history the birthstones have been thought to bring luck and other good fortunes to those that adorn themselves with the incredible treasures of the earth.
Diamonds come in a variety of colors, clear being highly desired for settings of all sizes. The name diamond is adopted from the Greek word adamas, meaning "invincible," diamonds are considered one of the strongest of the gemstones in the world.
Available in a variety of colors other than the classic clear diamond, yellow, pink, black, and blue diamonds are more rare and considered of higher value. The colored diamond gaining extreme popularity among fine jewelry designers, allows the diamond consumer to both express their personal style as well as showcase a more modern jewelry trend.
