The history behind the birthstone
You may or may not know this but diamonds are billions of years old. Some evidence shows that diamonds were around as early as the fourth century when they were being traded and collected in India.During the first century AD, history tells us that Roman naturalist Pliny was once quoted saying, “The diamond is the most valuable, not only of precious stones but of all things in this world.” And during the Middle Ages, these same diamonds were thought to have healing properties.Though our precious diamonds are the traditional birthstone of April, they are also known as the love stone. One of the reasons for this is that the Ancient Romans believed that Cupid’s arrows were made with diamonds. It was believed that diamonds enhanced the longevity and honesty of relationships and love.Some ancient cultures believed that the diamond gave their people strength, agility, and courage during battle. It was known that some kings would wear diamonds on their armor as they went into battle.Related: The Amazing History Behind Ancient Egyptian Jewelry
