Let’s deep dive into the world of April birthstone jewellery, and help you pick the perfect piece to flaunt this season!
Diamond: April’s Official Birthstone
Why Diamonds are a Girl’s (and Everyone’s) Best Friend
Diamonds are the ultimate show-offs, and rightly so! With their colourless, icy brilliance, they go with everything and add an instant dose of glam to any look. Plus, if you’re into subtle flexing, nothing beats the sparkle of a diamond ring catching the sunlight.
Symbolism: Strength, Love, and a Promise of Forever
Did you know that diamonds are the hardest natural substance on Earth? No wonder they symbolise resilience, love, and power. They also amplify the energy of other gemstones, making them perfect for those looking to manifest big dreams (or just a luxe jewellery collection!).
Where Do Diamonds Come From?
These beauties form under insane pressure deep inside the Earth’s mantle. Some even arrive via meteorites! While Russia, Botswana, Canada, and the Democratic Republic of Congo are major sources, India was historically known as the “Land of Diamonds.” So yes, you could say we have a special connection with this sparkling wonder.
And the better news? Science and technology have discovered ways to grow lab-diamonds in controlled environments. Intrigued? Read more about lab-grown diamonds here
Sapphire: The Alternative April Birthstone
Why Sapphires Are the Dark Horse of April Birthstones
If diamonds are all about dazzle, sapphires bring depth. Their signature royal blue hue has been a favourite of kings, queens, and even engagement-ring enthusiasts (looking at you, Princess Diana and Kate Middleton!). But did you know sapphires also come in pink, yellow, and even white? Talk about a colour palette!
Symbolism: Wisdom, Loyalty, and a Touch of Mystery
Sapphires aren’t just pretty; they come with some serious mystical cred. Worn by royalty for protection and insight, they symbolise wisdom, truth, and loyalty. If you’re someone who loves deep conversations and cosmic connections, this might just be your gem.
Where Do Sapphires Come From?
Sri Lanka, Madagascar, and Kashmir produce some of the world’s most sought-after sapphires. In fact, Kashmir sapphires are so rare and exquisite that they often end up in museums.
Fun fact: Montana in the U.S. is also home to some gorgeous sapphires, proving that this gem has global appeal!
