Diamond is the birthstone of April & anniversary
gemstone for the 10th and 60th years of marriage.
Diamond was discovered in 500 B.C. in India. The name
"diamond" comes from the Greek word "adamas" which
means unconquerable-suggesting the eternity of love.
Since ancient Greece diamonds have been the traditional
symbol of love. The ancients believed they were hardened
dew drops, splinters from the stars or crystallized lightening.
A diamond - the hardest substance known to man is a
crystallized carbon which has unique powers of light
reflection. Because it is composed of a single element -
a diamond is the purest of all gemstones. Diamond is a
colorless stone. Some other occasional colors are, blue,
yellow, amber, red, green, pink.
