Diamond

Happy birthday to all our April-born fans. Remember, your birthstone is the diamond. As it is rightly said, "A diamond is forever." Diamonds are a symbol of royalty and purity. This gemstone was named "adamas" by the Greeks, which means "invincible." A diamond is said to bring its owner wealth, happiness, and protection.

It is well known that the diamond is the hardest substance found in nature, but few people realize that the diamond is four times harder than the next hardest natural mineral, corundum (sapphire and ruby).

Diamonds are thought to have been first found in India, and since then have been used for making jewelry. Diamonds are found in many areas, including South Africa, Russia, and even Arkansas in the USA.

A gift of a diamond is symbolic of everlasting love. Diamonds are the anniversary gems for the 10th and 60th years of marriage. The diamond's white hue symbolizes life, joy, and purity. Diamonds are the ideal gift for a loved one, symbolizing strength and courage.

The diamond is also symbolic of a long-lasting relationship and has earned the heart of many people around the world. A true diamond can be known as the "King of all Gemstones."
