Diamond's Doppelgänger

As diamond's doppelgänger, quartz offers a beautiful alternative for April's birthstone. With its clarity and versatility, clear quartz is a brilliant, budget-friendly option for those who desire the elegance of a diamond but also seek a non-traditional aesthetic or unique symbolic significance in the gemstones they choose.

 

While quartz is the standout alternative, other colorless gems like white sapphires and white zircon are also gaining popularity. White zircon, in particular, has even been mistaken for diamonds due to its sparkling brilliance! For a unique twist, Goshenite - also known as white beryl - is a relative to Morganite and Aquamarine and makes another excellent alternative to consider.

 

So, whether designing for a client or creating something special for yourself, quartz and other colorless gemstones provide an unique way to enjoy diamond-like beauty with a bit of added character.
