Who wouldn’t want to be born in April!?!

Diamond, the Empress of all gemstones, is the birthstone of the lovely ladies of spring. The word diamond stems from the Greek “adamas”, meaning indestructible.

Brilliant Diamond

There is no gemstone more brilliant, durable or captivating than the illustrious diamond. Formed of crystallized carbon, nothing can compare to the sparkle and spectral fire of a white or “colorless” diamond.

The symbol of true love, diamonds are considered to be very powerful. They first became popular about 3,000 years ago in India. They were noticed for their sparkle and were used both for decoration as well as for protection from evil. In the dark ages, diamonds were thought to have healing properties. They were attributed with even more mystical powers during the middle ages, protecting against witchcraft and insanity.

Just Add Color

Equally delightful is the beauty of fancy colored diamonds… luscious lemon yellow diamonds, precious pink diamonds, beautiful blue diamonds, charming shades of champagne diamonds, even rare and unique green, orange and red diamonds!

A diamond is the ultimate gift of romance and love. What a pleasure to be born in April.
