April is the month of spring, daisies, fools... and diamonds. Some may welcome the first, delight in the second, and hate to be labeled as the third. But everyone -- as in everyone -- is absolutely under the spell of the always enchanting piece of rock called a diamond.



The world is certainly a more dazzling place because of this piece of carbon. Known as one of the hardest materials on Earth, a diamond also endures.  Science has shown that all the diamonds we discover today are already billions of years old! If diamonds survived the turmoil of time, then they must be indeed be as the Greek says "adamas" or invincible.

Because diamond crystals glitter like the stars, it was a natural stop in the course of time that they were made into ornamental jewelry. They are particularly popular as engagement and wedding rings.

This month of April, the Treasure Chest will be filled with diamond jewelry, where you can browse and delight and be blindingly dazzled by every girl's best friend.
