April’s birthstone is the diamond. The diamond’s history dates back some 3000 years to India where it was used for decorative purposes because of its ability to refract light as well as a talisman to ward off evil and provide protection in battle.
The diamond is the hardest known substance on earth. It is formed deep below the earth’s surface over billions of years. Diamonds are 58 times harder than the next hardest mineral, corundum, from which rubies and sapphires are formed.
These 14K White Gold Diamond Princess Stud earrings are a beautiful example of what the Earth is capable of creating. You can find them on LaurenKlein.com, along with many other diamond pieces.
