Round Brilliance DiamondBirthstone of the Month:
The April Birthstone is
Diamond
DIAMOND. The mere mention of the word fills the mind with a multitude of concepts and images. Diamond is a mineral, a natural crystalline substance, the transparent form of pure carbon. Diamond is something superb, the peerless "king of gems" that glitters, dazzles, and symbolizes purity and strength.  

Diamond is for engagement and the 75th wedding anniversary, for a commitment to never-ending love.  

Diamond. The hardest, rarest, densest natural substance known to man, diamonds have been a source of fascination (and misinformation) since 800 BC when they were first presented to royalty in India. In those days the Indians believed that diamonds were created when lightning struck rock. Amazingly the sub-continent was the only producer of diamonds for an astounding 2,500 years

What is the GIA?
Gemological Institute of America (GIA):
Founded in 1931 by Roger Shipley, this non- profit organization upholds the highest standards for grading diamonds and other precious gems. The GIA has one of the most-respected and well-regarded gemological laboratories in the world; GIA was responsible for developing and standardizing the diamond grading system that is used today by nearly all other gem labs.
 
What is a Graduate Gemologist (GG)? 
Created in 1931, the prestigious GIA Graduate Gemologist diploma teaches jewelers the science and technical knowledge needed to deal with the entire spectrum of diamonds and colored stones. The distinguished G.G. designation at the end of an individual's name is instantly recognized around the world as the mark of a senior professional in the jewelry industry.
