The ancient Greeks believed citrine was linked to Apollo - that carrying a golden stone was an invitation to his favour, bringing eloquence, brilliance, and light. Merchants carried it in their coin pouches for centuries, convinced it drew prosperity towards them. In 17th century Scotland, weapon makers set citrine into dagger handles - sometimes carving an entire handle from a single crystal. Queen Victoria wore it. Scotland claimed it as its own.

Its name comes from the French word citron - lemon - for its warm, sun-caught radiance. A stone that has always been associated with light, abundance, and the kind of optimism that endures.

This is the gold vermeil version - the same hand-engraved scrolled initial, the same brilliant-cut citrine in a Victorian star setting. The way in to a piece you'll want to wear every day. Also available in sterling silver for those who want to invest in something they'll keep forever.

For the November-born who carries the sun wherever they go.

Gold vermeil on sterling silver, on a 16″, 18″, 20″ or 24″ chain.
