How the dazzling diamond came to be April's Birthstone

In News

The incredible sparkle of a diamond has made it a fan-favorite for anyone and everyone looking for high-end jewelry. It’s hard to go wrong with a diamond anything - rings, necklaces, bracelets, you name it. Apart from being jewelry of choice for so many, it’s been considered a universal symbol of love and commitment, and for those lucky enough to be born in April, there’s the privilege of it being their birthstone.  

A most befitting birthstone

The origin of birthstones traces back to the Book of Exodus, in biblical times and to the Ratna Pariksha, a Hindu religious text from the 5th Century. But it wasn’t until 1912 that the American National Association of Jewelers released a list of gemstones that are associated with each month of the year. 

Yellow diamond Ring

With this list, the diamond was officially designated as the birthstone for April and consequently for those who fall under the Aries sign. Both the diamond and Aries-born individuals are known to be courageous, tenacious and intent on lighting up their surroundings with their internal glimmer. 

Diamonds also signify grace, romance, and serenity, which are all traits that an Aries-born identifies with. And also like those born under that sign, a diamond is renowned to be sturdy, strong and practically invincible. It’s an absolutely fitting symbol for those born in this month.

Why do birthstone rings make such great gifts?

Birthstone rings make great gifts because they are personalized, easy to connect with every ensemble and above all, the ring is pretty much one of the most favored of all accessories. It’s because the ring, as a design, stands for so much including everlasting love, confidence and poise, making it the perfect gift for almost any occasion.
