April is the month of traditional holidays like Easter; well-known modern inventions like April Fools’ Day; and recent, dubious holidays like Tell a Lie Day (April 4) and Ex-Spouse Day (April 14), according to
Holiday Insights.
But for those with a special April holiday of their own — a birthday — it’s also the month for diamonds, April’s birthstone.
Did you know:
- Diamonds are one of the hardest substances on Earth — it comes from the Greek word adámas, which means "unbreakable"
- Diamonds are available in almost any color in the rainbow — typically yellow, brown, gray or colorless, and less often translucent white, pink, orange, purple, red, green, blue, violet, and black.
- Diamonds were formed billions of years ago through a combination of high pressure and heat deep approximately 100 miles deep within the Earth’s mantle. They are brought to Earth’s surface through volcanic activity.
It’s no wonder why people like to give diamonds to their loved ones: in addition to being a valuable investment, diamonds are symbolic of love and legends say a diamond brings its bearer a better relationship. Other fables report the stones ability to increase good balance, clarity and abundance.
Today people traditionally give diamonds in engagement rings, and there’s no better place to find great deals on diamonds than a Cash America store.
Visit your local Cash America, SuperPawn or Cashland, or the
National Jewelry Liquidation Center in Las Vegas, for an April deal that’s no joke!
