The warm, sunny yellow of citrine brings cheer at once – as if a piece of sunlight were set in jewellery. This raw pendant of about 2 cm shows off the stone's natural form and vivid colour in a gold-coloured setting.
About citrine
Citrine is the yellow variety of quartz. This piece is heat-treated amethyst: warming amethyst gives it the warm yellow-amber shade characteristic of citrine – a long-established, traditional process. In tradition, citrine is known as a stone of cheer, momentum and optimism, and many regard it as a companion to a hopeful, open outlook. These meanings belong to the stone's cultural story rather than to any medical effect.
Make
The pendant shows the stone in its natural, uncut form, in a gold-coloured metal setting; it comes without a cord, so you are free to choose a necklace or leather strap. The eyelet is copper-coated iron, so it is recommended to take it off when working out or showering. Shape, colour and size vary from piece to piece.
What is it for?
Its warm yellow gives a bright, cheerful touch of colour – it goes well with dark clothing, against which it shines all the more. A popular choice for those who love sunny, cheerful stones.
Good to know
This is a natural mineral, so every piece is unique. It is best kept out of prolonged, strong sunlight, and wiped with a soft cloth.
