The Enduring Love Of Diamonds, April’s Birthstone

Diamonds, April’s birthstone, carry a rich history —that dates back for centuries—from regal dramas to the stories behind the famed rocks. They were discovered by legendary adventurers and gem hunters, trading hands or sold to renowned jewelry houses, nobility and Hollywood royalty. Since they were first found, diamonds have represented permanence and stability. Their attributes, ability to resist fire, and durability led them to symbolize endurance and everlasting love. Songs have been written about them; they are part of our cultural iconography. They can be big, gutsy and glamorous or delicately feminine, brilliant and sparkling or filled with old-world character and charm.
