Diamond Shades and Varieties
April’s birthstone shade is the classic colorless diamond. These diamonds are prismatic and reflect light is spectacular flashes of color called "fire" by jewelers. Diamonds can also be found in warm reds, oranges, yellows, and pinks, as well as cool blues, greens, purples, and blacks. Diamonds get their color based on chemical impurities in the gemstone.
Diamond Care
Diamonds are extremely durable and can stand up to ultrasonic cleaning. Taking care of your diamonds is important. We recommend you take your diamond to a professional twice a year for inspection and cleaning. Diamonds should be stored separately to avoid scratching your jewelry collection. Store them in a lined box or a soft pouch. Keep your diamond birthstone jewelry sparkling by cleaning it under warm running water with a mild soap.
How Does Your Birthstone Hold Up?
Jewelers use a tool called the Mohs Hardness Scale to rate a gemstone’s general resistance to scratching. Gemstones are ranked from 1 to 10 on the scale, diamonds are the hardest at 10 — just remember higher gemstones are more durable while lower gemstones need a little more protection and care.
