In the second century BCA, an anonymous poet once wrote, “The evil eye shall have no power to harm him that shall wear the diamond as a charm.” Describing the remarkable ability a diamond has to protect its wearer. This belief remained for centuries after this, and it is believed to continue for years to come. 

The hardness of diamonds and their toughness helped in creating many concepts about this transparent (most of the time) precious stone. In fact, the Greek has called a diamond this name due to its strength. Diamond is derived from the Greek word Adamas which means invincible. There is nothing that can cause a scratch on a diamond but another diamond.

The precious stone's remarkable hardness, alongside its stunning lustre, has placed the diamond on the top of the gemstone list. Also, its amazing features make it the perfect stone for engagement, wedding and eternity rings. Its durability and strength symbolize the eternity of the relationship.

April-born ladies are lucky to have such a unique precious gemstone to be their birthstone. However, since it is precious, its price is usually high, and it may not be affordable for many people to buy.

For this reason, despite the fact that April’s birthstone in antiquity and in some contemporary cultures is not diamond only, several gemstones can be April's birthstone as well. So, what are the other options an April-born person may have?

Opal, White Topaz, and Sapphire are considered April birthstones as well. In ancient times, some have been April’s birthstones, such as opal and sapphire, before updating the modern birthstone calendar. White topaz has been considered an alternate birthstone for April due to its similarities with diamonds.

All these birthstones form a great colour mix that reflects the colourful spring. Thus, making them legible to present in the spring month, April.

Despite their differences in appearance, all these birthstones bring hope, strength, innocence, courage, and protection to the April-born people and whoever wears them. 

We invite all April-born people to connect deeper with their birthstones and feel their strength. Let your tennis bracelet reflects your innocent side and your diamond engagement ring shows how precious you are to your partner. 

Wear a blue sapphire stone in a pair of threader earrings, and let their sparkle add a special look to your outfit.
