April Birthstone<\/strong><\/p>\n

The origin of birthstones is believed to date back to the breastplate of Aaron that contained twelve\u00a0gemstones<\/strong>\u00a0representing the twelve tribes of Israel. Later on these were assigned to the twelve months. According to legends, wearing the birthstone during its month improved its healing powers. If an individual owned all twelve birthstones and alternated them monthly, it also improved the healing powers.<\/p>\n

Our current list of gemstones dates back to 1912 with only one addition since then, the tanzanite was added to December. Some new lists, however, do contain several birthstones for each month.<\/p>\n

The April\u00a0birthstone,\u00a0diamond<\/strong>, in addition to being a symbol of everlasting love, was once thought to bring courage. In Sanskrit, the\u00a0diamond<\/strong>\u00a0is called \u201cvajra,\u201d which also means lightning; in Hindu mythology, vajra was the weapon of Indra, the king of gods.<\/p>\n

The diamond is the hardest substances on the planet, and dates back billions of years. The diamond is the traditional birthstone of April and holds significant meaning for those born in that month, thought to provide the wearer with better relationships and an increase in inner strength. Wearing diamonds is purported to bring other benefits such as balance, clarity and abundance and symbolic of eternal love!<\/p>\n
