The Diamond is the hardest of the gems and can withstand the abuse of daily wear for generations. So, it makes perfect sense that over the centuries, the diamond earned the right to represent the longevity of marriage. Today, the diamond is the most sought after gemstone in the world for all types of jewelry.
Diamond Birthstone Jewelry Ideas
In addition to representing marriage and anniversaries, the diamond is the birthstone of April. Those born in April are fortunate to have this birthstone as the sheer inventory and versatile jewelry options are unmatched. You can find plenty of diamond birthstone jewelry choices appropriate for any occasion or wardrobe that is not romantically connected.
For instance, a simple, but exquisite diamond heart necklace is a popular birthstone gift and one that a woman of any age would cherish. A solitaire diamond pendent, a diamond studded peace sign or earrings combined with other gemstones are some other ideas to consider.
Men are a little tougher to buy for and many are simply not interested in jewelry. But for those who are, particularly younger men, might appreciate a single diamond stud earring or a cross pendant filled with tiny diamonds.

The Value of the Diamond
Diamonds are valued by the 4 C’s: Cut, Color, Clarity and Carat-weight.
- The cut is the manner in which the stone was faceted to reflect more light. The goal is to make the diamond dazzle and sparkle.
- Even though the diamond comes in more than one color, the clear white is the most valuable – the more colorless the better.
- Clarity relates to the number of flaws in the stone. If the diamond is full of inclusions (flaws), the clarity will be less and won’t be as visibly pleasing.
- The carat-weight is the weight measurement of the diamond. A carat is equal to 100 points and is related to the size and specific gravity of the gem.
Experts advise purchasing smaller diamonds of higher quality as opposed to a larger diamond of lower quality. The smaller diamond will most likely be more affordable and will hold its value over time.
A diamond heart necklace for women or a diamond stud earring for men, is guaranteed to be a beloved jewelry piece for a lifetime, and then perhaps later as an heirloom. The diamond setting will eventually need to be replaced, but the diamond itself will last forever.
