Diamonds, they say are forever, well we know they are definitely for April.
No one can be sure why the various stones are associated with different months of the year, but a commonly believed story is one that dates back to ancient Israel.
To summarise there were twelve gemstones representing the twelve tribes of Israel. The modern-day list dates back to only 1912 with a singular new stone added since that year.
This was the tanzanite gemstone which was added to the month of December.
In many historical myths, the diamond is meant to have healing powers and therapeutic influences, as do most birthstones.
According to legends, wearing a stone on the month it is assigned to enhances mythical powers.
However, if an individual is looking for the stones to show off their full capabilities of powers, they will need to own all twelve of the gemstones and alternate wearing them for their respective month.
While diamonds are pretty much part and parcel with weddings and engagements, they are also a great choice for those wanting to wear something stunning for everyday use and special occasions.
Diamonds can come in several different hues including pink, red and yellow.
They also range in the luminescence of colour, but it's important to know the higher the saturation of the colour, the higher the value.
Diamonds were first found in India around the 4th century.
However, in the 1700s, Brazil became the main supplier for diamonds and South Africa became the main producer in the 1900s.
As they are made over thousands of years, there are only a few selected places of the earth where diamonds can be found.
They are formed below the earth's crust in the "Mantle" and are made out of carbon.
They are only formed after immense pressure is put on the carbon, which then creates complex bonds.
Due to their complexity in how they are made, they are used to show endurance and integrity in their wearer.
A diamond can be worn for any occasion and for those who are born in April, this birthstone has been assigned to them.
Today, diamonds are used to symbolize eternity and love, often seen adorning engagement rings.
