Citrine Necklaces

Citrine is a brilliant color gemstone and a great alternative to more expensive stones like yellow diamond and yellow sapphire. It is beneficial for healing and is said to help one connect with spirit. Citrine is also known for attracting wealth and sometimes referred to as the “merchant’s stone”. It is the anniversary gemstone for the 13th year of matrimony.

Citrine gemstones are a yellow to amber brown color and a member of the quartz family. Citrine gems are plentiful in many sizes and are ideal for making beautiful citrine jewelry. Just one look at a citrine necklace is enough to know why. Some people confuse citrine jewelry with precious topaz jewelry, as the stones look the same but are not. For this reason, citrine jewelry can be taken for precious topaz and thought to be more valuable than its market value.

  Citrine gemstones are known as the stone of the mind. Cultures from thousands of years ago believed that placing a citrine gemstone on the forehead of a person increased their psychic ability. Additionally, citrine gemstones are also known as the “merchant’s stone” because of their ability to draw money into cash registers. Many merchants actually keep a citrine gemstone in their registers. Wearing a citrine necklace may not actually cause people to throw money at you, but they will throw many compliments your way.

   Wearing citrine jewelry can also be of benefit in other ways. For example, legend says that those who wear or carry citrine gemstones can actually heal and soothe their digestive systems. This is due to citrine being a purifying and cleaning stone that is supposed to eliminate toxins and poisons in the body. What’s more, citrine jewelry and gemstones can help protect against the negative influence of people with its ability to bring out love and joy.

  Citrine jewelry is often given on the 13th and 17th years of marriage. It is associated with the month of November and the astrological sign of Virgo and Scorpio. The gemstone has been used since ancient Greece and was often used as an alternative to the much more expensive yellow sapphire and yellow diamond gems. Citrine jewelry is some of the most beautiful on the market and it is often combined with peridot, amethyst and garnet. Most citrine comes from Brazil, Africa and the former Soviet Union.
