Diamond Jewelry for April Birthdays

They say diamonds are a girl's best friend, but for those lucky enough to be born in April, they are much more than just another gemstone. Diamonds are the birthstone for April, and diamond jewelry makes the perfect gift for people with April birthdays. From men's rings to women's earrings, there is always a perfect gift for anyone's personal taste and sense of style.

A Range of Surprising Colors

Diamonds come in a wide range of colors, including the classic crystal-clear color, as well as black, blue, pink and red. More and more jewelers are carrying these other colors to meet the demands of today's customers. They are used in earrings, necklaces, bracelets, women's rings and men's rings, but can also be found in watches, cufflinks and many other items.

How Precious Is a Diamond?

There are several factors that go into assessing the value of a diamond. The quality of diamonds is noted by determining the following:

● Cut ● Color● Clarity● Carat weight

Typically, diamonds that are extremely clear (without inclusions or other imperfections) are more expensive. The carat weight also plays heavily into the price of a diamond. When choosing April birthday jewelry, it is important to talk to the jeweler about each of these characteristics.

The History of the Diamond
