You don't have to be a November baby to be a rock star in your golden citrine! This glowing gem has become the popular choice for the November birthdays. Originally the birthstone was golden topaz, but rarity and price made that one tough to collect so we now go for citrine. Known as the "merchant stone" because it symbolizes prosperity and wealth, people believed citrine could ban negativity and increase self esteem. This precious form of quartz is often mined where amethyst, its sister stone, is found. Today citrine is the color of November. When we think of golden leaves falling from the trees, and the Thanksgiving table filled with fall hues, the citrine stone seems like the perfect accent. I love our styles set in silver as well as gold, and thanks to the fact that citrine is fairly affordable you can look for earrings, necklaces and rings in our assortment. The other cool thing about citrine is the fact that it comes in many shades, from golden yellow to my favorite deep Madeira citrine. And, if you are looking for combinations to go with your citrine, I love it paired with garnet, especially at this festive time of year!
