A silver-plated cross pendant set with small, yellow-toned citrine stones. It comes on a fine silver-coloured chain about 45 cm long, weighs about 9 g and was made in India.
Lemon-yellow stones on the cross
Citrine is the yellow form of quartz, and it takes its name from the French word citron, meaning lemon. The small stones bring a warm, sunny colour to the silvery cross. They look especially nice on beige, brown and white clothes. Crystal lovers call it a stone of good cheer.
It also goes well with gold-coloured earrings or a ring, as the yellow of the citrine links the two. You can wear it to Mass, to a family celebration or on an ordinary walk. By candlelight at a festive table, the yellow stones glint warmly.
For a November birthday
Among the birthstones, citrine belongs to November, alongside topaz. If you are looking for a gift for a relative or friend born in November, this cross is a personal choice. Cross pendants are also a popular gift for confirmations and christenings, often from a godparent.
The chain and the silver plating
The pendant is silver-plated, so a thin layer of silver covers its surface; it is not solid silver. A silver-coloured chain, about 45 cm long, comes with it. At 9 g, the necklace is comfortable even under your clothes.
To keep it bright for longer, take it off before showering or swimming, and put on perfume before you put on the necklace. Don't wind the fine chain tightly around the pendant, as it can kink.
