Shine bright like a diamond with April's birthstone

Diamonds may be a girl's best friend, but they're also a jeweler's dream come true! These sparkling gems have been captivating hearts and minds for centuries, and it's no wonder why. From their dazzling beauty to their deep symbolism, diamonds are truly a wonder of nature. 


April’s birthstone has a truly fascinating history. Diamonds were initially found in ancient India, potentially as early as 4 BCE. When trade routes started opening up from the east to the west, diamonds traveled to Venice, Italy. They quickly became a status symbol in Western Europe and have stayed that way ever since. 


Diamonds are considered to be symbols of clarity and strength. It’s easy to see why that’s the case: diamonds are graded and sold based on these characteristics. Did you know that diamonds also were once believed to hold healing powers? Yep: some people used to believe that diamonds were an antidote for poison! The association between diamonds and longevity is almost certainly why diamonds are the gemstone for 60th and 75th anniversaries. 


Diamond mining has come a long way since those days in ancient India. A major mine was found in Brazil early on, and diamond mines can also be found in Africa, Australia, and North America. However, the biggest advance in diamonds means that diamonds can now be found just about anywhere! Lab-grown diamonds are nearly chemically identical to naturally-grown diamonds.


It’s no secret that Dickinson Jewelers loves diamonds. In fact, it’s even Kathy Dickinson’s birthstone (how perfect is that?). Let’s take a look at some of our favorite diamond pieces in store. 



This beautiful Gabriel and Co ring is proof that engagement rings don’t have a monopoly on diamonds! The 14 karat gold makes the diamonds look extra sparkly — which we are ALL about! 




These white gold and diamond starfish earrings are the perfect accessory for summer. Nautical jewelry is incredibly on-trend, and we love this take. The earrings remind us of perfect beach days while still delivering some serious glamor. 




Another fun, updated look is this diamond bar necklace. Sure to take any outfit to the next level, the beautiful yellow gold works perfectly in this style. 

Diamonds have a long and fascinating history, from their origins in ancient India to their status as a symbol of clarity and strength in modern times. Despite their association with engagement rings and weddings, diamonds can be incorporated into a wide range of jewelry pieces, as shown by some of the beautiful examples highlighted by Dickinson Jewelers. With the advent of lab-grown diamonds, it's now possible for anyone to own a stunning diamond without breaking the bank. Whether you prefer traditional or modern styles, diamonds will always be a timeless and beloved gemstone.
