April Diamond Birthstone

Happy birthday April ladies! Continuing on with our birthstone series, today we're highlighting the diamond, the most prized gemstone of all!

Diamonds come in a variety of colors including yellow, red, pink, blue, and green. Generally speaking, the more saturated the color, the higher the value. Fancy-color diamonds are very desirable, but they're more rare.

Some fun facts about this beautiful gemstone:

  • Diamond is the only gem made of a single element - It's typically about 99.95% carbon
  • Over the centuries, diamond was thought to be an antidote to poison. It's now the universal symbol of love!
