birthstone series - april
26 April 2017
Birthstones and gemstones in general have always intrigued me. Its something that I find so magical and perfect in some way. There is so much variety and so many uses for gemstones. There is rose quartz that helps with self love, amethyst that provides clarity, citrine for manifest more money by removing financial blockages, black tourmaline for protection, carnelian for motivation, inspiration and confidence, aventurine for self-esteem and lasting relationships and clear quartz that can heal issues at the physical, mental and soul level.

Today is the start of a brand new series that I'm introducing to my blog. I had this idea when I was looking through a book about gemstones in the world, and inspiration struck. My planner also has a page for the birthstones for each month. So here we are. With birthstone number 4. Its weird to start it at this time of the year, but I thought why not start with April and as each month comes, introduce a brand new birthstone.
The April birthstone, the diamond, the forever stone, the symbol of eternity and every girl’s best friend. The most precious gem in the world is a symbol of romance, allure and sensuality, coveted by the world for its enduring beauty, lasting quality and unparalleled brilliance. The diamond has long been associated with love, bonding, relationships, commitments and loyalty. A gemstone of lover’s, the diamond has been used in the creation of exquisite engagement rings and jewellery since the times of old. This gemstone is believed to bestow balance, clarity and abundance on the wearer, we well as bring wealth, health and happiness to the home of its bearer.
The ancient Hindus believed that diamonds were created by lightning bolts that struck the Earth. Greek legend entails that diamonds are the tears of the Gods, star splinters and crystallized lightening. The stone is said to represent faith, loyalty, honesty, purity, love and innocence and bestow on the wearer peace and fulfilling relationships. It is said to inspire creativity in individuals and bring its owner protection, wealth and happiness.
The diamond is believed to be effective for health problems like curing brain diseases, disorders caused by the pituitary gland and drawing out toxins from wounds. Spiritually, the stone is believed to create positive energy in an individual and interact with positive forces of other stones to enhance the quality of the wearer’s life.
The colour of the most popular diamonds has a transparent, silvery colour. Diamonds also come in a variety of colours such as pink, red, blue, brown, black, and yellow.

"She who from April dates her years,
Diamonds shall wear, lest bitter tears
For vain repentance flow."
