When it comes to spirituality, April's diamond birthstone takes the cake. The stone is regarded as a symbol of love, purity, and romance, which obviously makes it the perfect choice for wedding jewelry. Diamonds are also believed to offer strength and composure, allowing wearers to think more clearly, have an open mind, and be strong when dealing with their thoughts and emotions. The gemstone is also thought to help its wearer overcome conflict and challenges in life.

Diamonds were originally thought to hold important healing properties too and were once even considered to be a cure for poisoning or a way to protect the wearer from falling ill with the plague (via GIA). While many think of diamonds as being traditionally white or transparent in color, in reality, the stone is actually found in many different colors, including yellow, pink, and green. 

The word diamond means "vajra" or "lightning" in Sanskrit, solidifying its spiritual significance. Of course, over the years there have been some very historic and famous diamonds, such as the Hope Diamond, a 45-carat blue diamond that once belonged to King Louis XIV of France. Likewise, diamonds have increasingly become a symbol of love and luxury. But, for those born in April, they're so much more.
