April is the Month for Diamonds “She who from April dates her years,
Diamonds shall wear, lest bitter tears
For vain repentance flow.”

No Pressure, no diamonds. — Thomas Carlyle ![]() The word Diamond is derived from the Greek word “adamas” or “hardest metal”. Legend has it that the God of Mines took one of each stone, rubies, sapphires, and emeralds and compounded them together, declaring “Let this be something that will combine the beauty of all.” And thus the Diamond was born…pure as water, invincible in hardness, and displaying all the colors of the gems from which it was made.

“The hues of the opal, the light of the diamond,
are not to be seen if the eye is too near.”
— Ralph Waldo Emerson
The traditional color associated with the diamond is white, or colorless, but all fancy diamonds – stones, naturally colored in yellow, pink, red, purple, blue, green, black, cognac – are extremely rare and, therefore, fabulously expensive. ![]() |
