Diamond is April’s birthstone and is a symbol of clarity and strength for those lucky enough to be born this month. Diamonds are so strong, in fact, that the name comes from the Greek word "adamas," which means “invincible” or “unbreakable.” The oldest diamonds were formed more than 3 billion years ago. Throughout history, the diamond was believed to have healing powers, act as an antidote to poison, and provide protection against the plague.
Whilst white diamonds are the most recognisable, this gem comes in a range of colours, including brown, yellow, red, pink, blue, and green. The diamond is also the gem given to celebrate 60th and 75th wedding anniversaries.
Whether gifting yourself or a loved one this month, explore a range of diamonds in our Colours of Love collection.
