Birthstone Jewelry: Diamonds

02 Apr Birthstone Jewelry: Diamonds

Girls born in April are lucky – the diamond is their birthstone. And those with April birthdays who shop for diamonds at a pawn shop, where you can find everything from estate jewelry to engagement rings for sale are not only lucky – they are smart, too! 

Why are diamonds so valuable?

Author-artist Aberjhani said, “At the edge of madness you howl diamonds and pearls.” There is just something about the sparkle, the sheen, that captures the eye and the imagination. 

Diamond dealers claim that during hard times, including the pandemic that we’ve been going through, people buy more diamonds than ever. Why? They are an excellent investment that will hold value. 

Or as singer Shirley Bassey pointed out, “Diamonds never leave you … men do!” 

Fascinating Facts About Diamonds

• Diamonds are one of the oldest materials known to man. They form about 100 miles below ground and are carried to the earth’s surface by volcanic eruptions.

• The name diamond came from ancient Greece and it means “unbreakable,” which is completely appropriate. The only thing that can scratch a diamond is another diamond. That was probably why many ancient cultures believed that diamonds helped them during battles, giving them strength.  

• The ancient Romans and Greeks believed that diamonds were tears of the gods or pieces of falling stars. 

• No two diamonds are alike. Each stone carries its own shape and energy.

• Diamonds aren’t just famous for their beauty but also for their healing powers. For centuries, people in India thought that just looking at diamonds was therapeutic. 

• To this day, many people believe that diamonds bring longevity, beauty, health, happiness and, of course, power. According to Charms of Light, diamonds clear emotional and mental pain, reducing fear and bringing new beginnings. They stimulate creativity, inventiveness, imagination, and cleverness. They bring clarity of mind and enlightenment. Diamonds are also said to allow the soul to shine. They help with spiritual evolution and remind you of your soul’s aspirations. They purify and detoxify all of the body’s systems, rebalancing the metabolism and building up stamina.
