April

Everyone loves diamonds, but some people don’t realize that these spectacular gemstones are also the April Birthstone. Of course, diamonds are much more famous for their hardness and brilliance than their role as the April birthstone: on the Mohs scale of hardness, diamonds receive a 10, the highest possible ranking. The name of the April birthstone comes from the Greek 'adamas', which translates to invincible, from its hardness, which has been known throughout the ages. If you want to commemorate the birth of a loved one with an April birthstone that's a bit different from the traditional, perhaps she might like a yellow diamond, or perhaps one that is black or blue. We are proud to carry a wide selection of colored diamonds as well as white diamonds.
