Those of us born in April are fortunate enough to have the most valuable precious stone as their birthstone - the diamond. You have good reason to request sparkling diamonds as a gift this month, or to just simply treat yourself!
The ancient Romans and Greeks believed that diamonds were tears cried by the gods, or splinters from falling stars, and Romans believed that Cupid’s arrows were tipped with diamonds (perhaps the earliest association between diamonds and romantic love).
It is clear to see why diamonds are a girl's best friend! At
Grays there is no shortage of dazzling diamonds - we are of course world famous for engagement rings - and we have rounded up a few examples of the stunning pieces our dealers have on offer.
