This exquisite original watercolour painting captures the timeless elegance of a cushion-cut diamond, meticulously rendered on 300gsm cold-pressed watercolour paper. As the birthstone for April, the diamond symbolises love, strength, and courage, themes that are beautifully conveyed through the artists delicate brushwork.

The artists signature, R Cox, ensures the authenticity of this piece. Mounted with a backing board and encased in a clear bag, it is ready for framing and would make a wonderful addition to any collection. The mounted size measures 23cm x 23cm, making it a perfect size for display.

As a full-time artist based in York, I also have a deep passion for gemstones. Following my art degree, I studied gemmology and worked for many years in the jewellery trade, where I developed a true appreciation for the beauty and intricate details of gemstones like diamond. This painting not only reflects my artistic journey but also serves as a meaningful gift for anyone born in April.
