The History of Diamonds, as quoted from the GIA
Sparkling with an internal fire all its own, diamond is one of the world’s most sought-after and adored gemstones. Those born in April are lucky enough to call this scintillating gem their birthstone, a symbol of clarity and strength. Diamond is so strong, in fact, that its name comes from the Greek word "adamas," which means “invincible” or “unbreakable.” The timeless charm of diamond was cherished long before it became the April birthstone, and the places where diamond comes from are as fascinating as the lore that surrounds it.
DIAMOND BIRTHSTONE MEANING & HISTORY
Our love for the April birthstone started in India, where diamonds were gathered from the country’s rivers and streams. Traded as early as the fourth century BCE, diamonds were coveted by royalty and the wealthy. Later, caravans brought Indian diamonds, along with other exotic merchandise, to medieval markets in Venice. By the 1400s, diamonds were becoming fashionable accessories for Europe’s elite. The first diamond engagement ring on record was given by Archduke Maximillian of Austria to his betrothed, Mary of Burgundy, in 1477. Recent evidence supports the origin of the legendary 45.52 carat (ct) blue Hope diamond in India’s Golconda mining area and its sale to King Louis XIV of France (then known as the French Blue diamond) in 1668.

The Truth is you can not tell the difference between Natural and Lab Diamonds
The truth is you cannot tell the difference between a Lab Diamond and a Natural Diamond. The only way you can tell the difference between a natural and lab diamond are in a gem labratory with diamond grading equipment. No one can tell the difference not even a trained gemologist.
I did say I would share which jewelry I wore was Natural and which were Lab Diamonds.
So here are the details....
The exquisite Diamond Necklace is a Lab Diamond Necklace
The Diamond stud earrings with the matching jackets are natural diamonds. They can be worn together or separately and we can custom design these for you in Lab Diamonds.
