November Birthstone: Citrine

A rare form of quartz, Citrine is symbolic of hope and strength. From the old French for “lemon,” this gem comes in a variety of yellows. When subjected to heat, the stone can change color, so it is recommended not to leave citrine jewelry pieces in direct sunlight for extended periods of time because it will permanently alter the color. Historically, citrine has been used to enhance yellow gold jewelry and was often believed to have medicinal properties.

This month’s featured birthstone jewelry piece is from the King Jewelers Private Label collection: a Yellow Gold Citrine Cocktail Ring. This round cut orange citrine is framed by diamonds and set into 18 carat yellow gold with a chevron trimming and further gold embellishments around the edge of the ring and the band of the ring.
