April babies can feel guilt-free asking for the gift of a diamond this month, as the gorgeous gem happens to be their official birthstone.
Known by many as ‘a girl’s best friend’, the diamond is the epitome of a sparkler – attracting ooh’s and ahh’s wherever it goes.
The diamond is by far our biggest selling gemstone, so we thought it was only fair to share a bit about its background with our lovely readers.
The dazzler is said to date back billions of years, rising to the earth’s surface thanks to deep volcanic eruptions.
Andrew Mazzone explained that a large number of the store’s jewellery pieces – especially our stunning engagement rings – feature diamonds due to their universal appeal.
“The diamond is loved by many and is considered a really personal, special and romantic gift,” Andrew Mazzone said.
As well as being enjoyed by the lucky ladies of April, diamonds are the traditional tenth wedding anniversary gift, plus the 60th, 75th, 85th, 90th, and 95th anniversaries too.
If you happen to make it to 100 years of marriage, the traditional gift is nothing less than a 10-carat diamond. As far as we’re concerned, if you’ve made it that far, you deserve all of the diamonds in the world!
Like all gemstones, diamonds possess some much-needed healing powers, ranging from fatigue to mental illness. They have also been linked to abundance, clarity and balance.
In the early days, ancient Romans and Greeks believed diamonds were tears cried by the gods, and that Cupid’s arrows were tipped with diamonds. This is perhaps the earliest association between diamonds and romance. Cute, huh?
As well as being the feature of most of our engagement rings, you can find a range of our stunning ready-to-wear diamond pieces in our Adelaide jewellery store, including earrings, bracelets and pendants. These gorgeous diamond stackable rings (below) start from $495 each.
With Mother’s Day also fast approaching, it might be time to visit us and see how you can bring some more sparkle to you, your mum or your significant other’s life. We can create a custom piece based on any budget that will help ensure the wearer shines bright like a diamond.
Said to provide the wearer with better relationships and an increase in inner strength, there’s very few reasons not to consider a new piece this April. We could all do with a bit more diamond love in our lives, right ladies?
