Diamond is the gemstone for the month of April. The name "diamond" comes from the Greek word "adamas" meaning unconquerable suggesting the eternity of love. In fact, diamonds have been the traditional symbol of love since ancient Greece. Discovered about 2,500 years ago in India, the ancients believed they were splinters from the stars, perhaps crystallised lightening or hardened dewdrops. This expertly painted figurine, coupled with a high quality gemstone, make the Gemstones collection a perfect gift for anyone. The magic and romance of topaz goes back many thousands of years. It holds the distinction of being the gemstone with the widest range of curative powers. The Greeks felt it gave them strength. In addition, it supposedly cooled tempers, restored sanity, cured asthma, relieved insomnia and even warded off sudden death. Topaz is also said to make its wearer invisible in time of emergency Many people know which gemstone is associated with his or her month of birth. This is probably due to the folklore associated with these stones. Early civilisations as far back as 1400 BC gave mysterious and magical powers to gemstones, believing that wearing the gemstone would give them luck or protect them.
