Because if you were born in April, the stars gave you sparkle.
Let’s be honest, not all birthstones are created equal. But April? It’s iconic.
If you’re lucky enough to be born in this month, your gem is the diamond, the kind of stone that turns heads, keeps promises, and quietly says “forever” without shouting.
But hey, diamonds aren’t the only gem in the room anymore.
In this modern world, where people are making conscious choices even while thinking about luxury, Moissanite is making its debut. It shines, sparkles, and glams just as you want it to be, and most importantly, they are kinder to our planet and even on your pocket. (Let’s call it the cool cousin of the classic diamond.)
So, whether you are shopping for yourself or for someone special, here’s what you need to know about April’s birthstone.
Diamond: The Gem That Never Needs an Introduction
Diamonds aren’t just beautiful, they’re survivors. Born under intense heat and pressure, they come out unbreakable and dazzling.
Sounds familiar, right? (Looking at you, April-born warriors.)
So, what does it really symbolize?
- Endurance. Because no matter what life throws at you, you’ve got grit.
- Truth. Clear, direct, and unapologetically honest, just like a good diamond.
- Love. The lasting kind, the “I choose you every day” kind.
Traditionally, diamonds are associated with love and eternal commitment. But even if it's not for your “I do,” you can have it to prove “I'm worth it.”
Traditionally, diamonds are associated with eternal commitment, but even if you’re not saying “I do,” wearing one is a quiet promise to yourself: I’m worth it.
What Colour is the April Birthstone?
When we say "diamond," we often imagine a sparkling white stone. But in reality?
Diamonds come in a whole palette of hues, icy white, warm champagne, pretty pinks, moody blacks, and even rare blues.
Still, classic clear diamonds remain the soul of April. They're pure, powerful, and timeless, like a clean slate waiting for your story.
Meet Moissanite: The New Age Sparkle with a Heart
Not into following tradition? Good. Because Moissanite is the kind of gem that does things differently.
Born from the stars (literally, it was first found in a meteor crater), Moissanite is now lab-created for jewellery, and it brings the dazzle without the drama.
Why people are falling in love with it:
- It sparkles more than a diamond. Yes, really.
- It’s conflict-free and sustainable. So you can always feel good after wearing it.
- It’s affordable. More sparkle, fewer zeroes, we love to see it.
At Nakshu Jewels, we believe modern elegance should never come with compromise. That’s why our Moissanite collections are handcrafted for conscious dreamers, those who want brilliance and balance.
Diamond vs Moissanite: Which One Feels More Like You?
Let’s be real, both stones are stunning.
But when choosing between them, it comes down to who you are and what you value.
| Feature | Diamond | Moissanite |
| Symbolism | Tradition, strength, eternal love | Individuality, fresh beginnings, ethics |
| Price Range | Higher-end | Budget-friendly |
| Sparkle Factor | Elegant brilliance | Flashy fire and a rainbow effect |
| Ideal For | Heirlooms, milestone moments | Every day sparkle, conscious luxury |
Why not wear both? One for the legacy. One for the lifestyle.

If you’re an Aries, you already know you’re bold, brave, and born to lead.
Diamonds and Moissanites both reflect that go-getter energy, bright, clear, and impossible to ignore.
April’s birthstones aren’t quiet. Neither are you.
