Diamonds Represent People Born in April

You can ask anyone what the most popular gemstone is in existence and they will most likely answer the question by referring to a diamond. Diamonds have become renowned as the most popular type of gemstone used in wedding jewelry, especially for a person’s first wedding. Diamonds are used in many different types of jewelry settings, and they are also popular collection items. Diamonds come in different forms, sizes and colors, and they are highly sought after by millions of people. In addition to all of these features, it should be noted that diamonds have also been chosen as the gemstones to represent people born in the month of April. In this post, we’ll take a closer look at diamonds – including the stone’s origins, colors, varieties and other particular aspects that are important to consider when buying jewelry that comes fitted with a diamond.

Diamonds – What You Should Know

A diamond is considered a precious gemstone, it is also one of the most valuable stones on the planet, with some diamonds reaching prices as high as over a million dollars. In ancient times, however, diamonds were not as readily available as they are today – in fact, these gemstones were only available to those individuals who were of royalty. Today, however, you can buy a diamond from thousands of different stores – both on the internet and in many local areas. The prices of diamonds vary greatly – you can pick up a relatively small diamond when you are on a tight budget, and you can get a really big and beautiful diamond if you have a larger budget.

Diamonds are popularly known for two particular characteristics they tend to possess. Firstly, diamonds are known as the hardest substance on Earth, ranking ten out of ten on the Mohs Scale of Hardness. Secondly, diamonds are popularly known for their colorless feature – while these gemstones can be found in almost every color imaginable, the most common ones are the colorless diamonds.

A diamond is graded by a gemmologist, who provides a variety of details regarding the different qualities the particular diamond possesses. These details are then utilized in order to determine how valuable a diamond is. The main details provided in such a report include the carat weight of the diamond, as well as particular qualities that can only be observed when the diamond is placed underneath a special microscope. The cut quality of the diamond, as well as the clarity rating are some of the most important aspects of the diamond. Additionally, the gemmologist will also look at the color grade of the diamond – a completely colorless diamond will be more valuable than one with traces of yellow.

It should be noted that, when it comes to a fancy colored diamond, the color grade of the diamond is different from a colorless diamond. In such a case, the more intense the color, the higher the value of the diamond would be. This accounts for diamonds such as fancy red diamonds, fancy blue diamonds, fancy pink diamonds and similar fancy colored varieties of this popular gemstone.

Conclusion

The diamond gemstone, being probably the most popular precious gemstone in existence, was chosen as the birthstone of April. This particular gemstone is extremely famous throughout the entire world – not only amongst celebrities, but also amongst those planning to propose, those who are about to get married and even those simply looking to buy an expensive gift for someone close to them. In this post, we have taken a closer look at the diamond and what you should consider when buying a diamond for yourself or for someone else in your life.
