Jewellery fans tend to look at anyone with the good fortune of being born in April with extreme jealousy. Yes, there’s nothing wrong with July’s rubies, and September’s sapphires are certainly pretty, but one can only pity the semi-precious stones afforded to January (garnet) and August (peridot) babies when April’s children are blessed with diamonds.
After all, not only are they said to symbolise purity, innocence, eternity and courage, diamonds are also the most popular precious stones among jewellers – meaning there’s a vast array of choice when it comes to gifting April birthstone jewellery. From show-stopping high jewellery to diamonds designed for every day, here’s our pick of the best diamond birthstone jewellery for April.
De Beers Enchanted Lotus ring
Crafted to resemble the symbolic bloom, this exceptional 18K white gold and diamond ring is part of De Beers’ Enchanted Lotus collection and draws on the purity of the flower. Composed of 301 diamonds in total, the ring’s round diamonds catch the eye and are enhanced by the more intricate micropavé diamonds framing the edge. Each diamond has also been ethically sourced and hand selected by De Beers’ team of experts, so you can invest with confidence.
Emma Clarkson Webb Amanda ring
If you’re in the market for an engagement ring, look no further than Emma Clarkson Webb’s exquisite diamond rings. Made in her workshop in Hatton Garden, Webb is a certified GIA gemologist specialising in sourcing diamonds and semi-precious gemstones from across the globe. While all of Webb’s pieces are made on request, we couldn’t not highlight the Amanda: an 18ct yellow and white gold ring set with three pear-shaped diamonds.
Le Ster Diamond Trailblazer ear jacket
Founded by Aishleen Lester, the designer’s namesake brand has been making its mark in the fine jewellery space thanks to her colourful creations with striking motifs. Having originally worked as a sculptor, each of Le Ster’s collections are created with bold lines, fine corners and lab-grown gemstones to form wearable pop art. A highlight is the Diamond Trailblazer ear jacket, which resembles a firework sparkling through the sky and is crafted in 18ct yellow gold with round cut and pear-shaped diamonds. Plus, the stud and jacket can be worn separately, offering an array of styles.
Kimai Lady ring
Contrary to what you might believe, not all diamonds come from below the earth and the appetite for lab-grown diamonds has boomed over the past decade. Widely considered to be a more ethical and sustainable alternative to mined diamonds, they are chemically identical to their natural counterparts but, for those on a budget, typically ring in at a fraction of the cost. A leader in the field is Dutch brand Kimai; a favourite of Meghan Markle, we think she’d approve of its recycled gold and diamond Lady stacking ring.
Harry Winston Forget-Me-Not earrings
Not sure which cut is her favourite? Harry Winston has covered all the bases by combining a cacophony of marquise, pear-shaped and round brilliant diamonds in one pair of stunning earrings. Part of the brand’s Forget-Me-Not collection, inspired by the eponymous flower and an extension of Harry Winston’s long standing fascination with the natural world, they weigh in at 4.38ct and are set in platinum, making for a truly unforgettable gift.
Lylie Freyr scattered diamond necklace
Stacking is the jewellery trend that shows no sign of abating and Lylie’s delicate designs are perfect for building up a collection of interchangeable pieces. Get them started with this dainty Freyr scattered diamond necklace crafted in 18ct yellow gold and studded with lab grown white diamonds for the ultimate in everyday elegance.
Vrai Blossom necklace
What’s better than a diamond necklace? A necklace where the ethical and sustainable credentials of the diamonds are guaranteed, of course. Vrai’s pretty, feminine design features five marquise-cut lab-grown white diamonds, set in 14 karat white, yellow or rose gold in a delicate floral design. We recommend layering with your favourite necklaces to really up the glam factor.
