There’s nothing better than waking up just before the sunrise to see the iridescent reflections of sunshine reflecting off morning dew drops. This early glimmer embodies the first big change of the year, moving away from snowflakes to spring foliage. In this change, we can look forward to the light of the new season through the reflection of April’s birthstone, the diamond.
Strength and Resilience
The word diamond is derived from the Greek word adamas, meaning “unbreakable.” It makes sense, considering these magnificent stones are one of the hardest natural substances found on earth. In ancient Greece, diamonds were believed to be tears of the gods, or even splinters that had fallen off stars. Over centuries of adoration, diamonds have become recognized worldwide for their significance in many cultures.
Adored Throughout Time
Diamonds have represented love as far back as 1477. Archduke Maxmillian of Austria gifted his betrothed Mary of Burgundy a gold engagement ring with the letter “M” spelled out in the gorgeous stone. Since then, diamonds have become associated with romantic devotion, making those with the April birthstone extra lucky when it comes to love.
The Power of Diamonds
In many cultures birthstones are considered a source of power or protection for their wearers. Diamonds are said to bring their owner stability in their relationships and inner strength. Other mystical properties believed to be associated with wearing a diamond include good luck, improved health and boosted energy. Whether or not your birthstone is the diamond, you’re bound for success and confidence.
