I hope you all had an enjoyable weekend. The weather is finally warming up over here. I'm sharing another birthstone mood board. The April birthstone is diamond, which symbolizes eternal love, strength and clarity. If you're a bullet journaler you'll know that diamond shapes are also popular as stamps or stickers. An affordable jewelry alternative and just as lovely is the zirconia, which I have showcased here as a minimalist pendant and Art Deco style earstuds. Besides, these days diamonds are laboratory-grown. They offer a sustainable alternative and are in no way inferior to natural ones. Have a beautiful week!

ReplyDeleteIt looks a lot like a diamond, especially at first glance. It has a more intense “rainbow” to its sparkle, which makes it look more “artificial” in certain lights. It is usually perfectly clear, with no inclusions — something that rarely happens in natural diamonds.
Have a nice day!
Yes, you are right. Zirconia usually has a rainbow sparkle!
DeleteI love the necklace and earrings. Simple yet beautiful.
ReplyDeleteDiamonds! Not too long ago I was listening to a recording of Karl Jenkins modern classical work "Palladio" -- it's often called "Diamond Music" because DeBeers used it in their TV diamond commercials in the 1990s. That's where I first heard it and immediately fell in love with its sweeping, dramatic, driving rhythm! Here's the famous first movement on YouTube --

Debra, thanks for sharing! It certainly is dramatic and a little melancholy imho.

Very nice. Greetings from Zagreb.
While I am not a jewelry wearer, I do think diamonds are so pretty! I'd go for the simple pieces like you have featured here if I did wear it though.
