April Birthstones: Diamond, White Sapphire & Quartz

April-born individuals are celebrated with the most iconic gemstone of all — the diamond. Whether you choose a classic natural diamond, a colourful fancy diamond, or a modern alternative like white sapphire or Quartz. All April birthstones are prized for their sparkle and clarity.

Modern alternatives include White Sapphire, or any clear, white or milky variety of Quartz.

Diamond

Colours: Traditionally clear and colorless, though diamonds also occur in fancy colors like yellow, pink, blue, and even black.

Symbolism: Associated with eternal love, strength, and purity. Diamonds have long been a symbol of commitment, making them popular in engagement rings. Diamonds and their substitutes symbolize resilience and endurance.

Energy & Beliefs: Believed to bring clarity, balance, and resilience to the wearer.

Accessibility: Diamonds are among the most coveted gems; while natural diamonds can be expensive, lab-grown diamonds offer a more affordable option with the same brilliance.

Versatility: Diamond's neutral tones make them perfect for any jewellery style, from classic to modern.

Quartz or Herkimer Diamond

Rock crystal form: Quartz is abundant, versatile, and symbolises healing, clarity, and energy amplification. Quartz shines in accessibility and diversity and is known for its clarity and healing properties, often chosen as a more affordable substitute to Diamond as a birthstone. Quartz is most commonly clear (rock crystal), and it naturally occurs in a wide spectrum including: Rose Quartz (pink); Amethyst (purple); Citrine (yellow/orange); Smoky Quartz (brown/grey); Milky Quartz (white/opaque); and Herkimer Diamond - a naturally double-terminated Quartz.

Symbolism: Quartz is often called the "master healer" in metaphysical traditions, and is associated with universal healing and balance. It symbolises clarity, harmony, and spiritual growth.

Energy: Believed to amplify energy, thought, and intention. Used in meditation and spiritual practices for focus and cleansing. Quartz is linked to amplification and transformation.

Accessibility: Quartz is abundant and widely available, making it far more affordable than diamonds. Its accessibility has made it a staple in both fine jewellery and everyday decorative pieces.

Versatility: Quartz’s colour variations allow it to fit into nearly any jewellery style.

White Sapphire

A durable, sparkling alternative to diamond, symbolising wisdom and strength.
