So what do we know about April? aside from it’s the 4th month of the year, it tends to rain a lot, if you live in the UK, and it gives us the only legitimate day of the year to play practical jokes on people in favour of April fools. If you were lucky to be born in April your birthstone is the Diamond. So ensure you remind your parents on this fact and demand your birth right, preferably a 1ct Internally Flawless Brilliant Cut Stone. Without plugging anyone in particular there is a few reputable Loose Diamond Dealers online that will provide you with such a treasure.
“April is the cruelest month, breeding lilacs out of the dead land, mixing memory and desire, stirring dull roots with spring rain.”
― T.S. Eliot, The Waste Land
