11 Apr April Birthstone: Creative ways to wear diamonds

If you have an April birthday, you’ll be thrilled to learn that your birthstone is one of the most popular, beloved stones in the world—the diamond. Of course, diamonds are universally lauded for their beauty and trademark sparkle. However, April babies who maintain a more unconventional sense of style sometimes will claim that diamonds are for more mainstream types. This misconception can even be seen in the classic film “Breakfast at Tiffany’s”, in which Audrey Hepburn’s character claims that it’s tacky for women to wear diamonds before they’re 40.

Nothing, of course, could be further from the truth. Diamond jewelry pieces are classics for a reason; they manage to look incredible at all kinds of events and in an array of settings. After all, the diamond is believed to be one of the most ancient items on the entire planet, making it the true definition of a classic. If you are lucky enough to have been born in April, you can learn how to appreciate all of the unique ways in which these special gemstones can be used in jewelry—or even learn to bedazzle other items in your wardrobe with the help of a diamond or two.

Diamond brooches have become popular again in the past few years. From catwalks to red carpets, many hot young stars have been seen sporting this diamond jewelry in cool and unconventional new ways. If you have an April birthday, you may want to explore different ways in which Granny’s diamond brooch can be put to good use.

Diamond sunglasses are also all the rage right now, and a pair of these sparkling shades was even included in the most recent Academy Awards swag bag. There’s nothing like a diamond or two to light up your face with some sparkle while it’s also being shaded from the sun.

Indeed, if you want to jazz up your April birthstone you should think outside of the box when contemplating how to fit this gorgeous gemstone into your life. By using a diamond in unexpected ways, you could become a style sensation. There are also so many different colors of these gems from which to choose: the canary diamond is known for its stunning beauty, and of course the Hope Diamond is famous for its deep blue hue. People often forget that diamonds come in a wide variety of beautiful colors, so if you have an April birthday, you can luxuriate in the practically infinite possibilities your birthstone affords you. Whether it’s a diamond nose ring or ear cuff, there are a multitude of ways to show off your April birthday pride by wearing these stunning sparklers.
