Updated Blog Post Detail: Please note that the blog was posted 4 years ago in 2019. We are refreshing the blog post for the purpose of sharing more details with readers about the November birthstones – Topaz and Citrine.
For November, two enchanting birthstones take centre stage: Citrine and Topaz. While Citrine is a captivating quartz gemstone known for its natural pale yellow or orange hues, Topaz boasts a spectrum of vibrant colours. Both are exceptional choices to celebrate November birthdays.
Let's delve into these mesmerising gems.
November boasts two birthstones due to the historical evolution of birthstone traditions. Initially, Topaz stood as the sole gem, cherished for its rich hues. However, in a quest to offer more affordable alternatives, Citrine was added to the list, with its golden allure becoming a budget-friendly option. This dual representation of Topaz and Citrine in November's birthstone selection caters to a wider range of preferences and budgets, showcasing the adaptability of tradition in the world of jewellery.
Citrine, often sourced from Brazil, Bolivia, Africa, and Russia, is renowned for its warm and inviting hues. Its natural shades range from pale yellow to orange and even a deeper reddish-brown. Finding naturally occurring Citrine is rare, so jewellers often use heat-treated amethyst to create this stunning gem.
Historically, Citrine was known as "the merchant's stone" because it was believed to bring financial prosperity. Who wouldn't appreciate that? For those born in November, Citrine jewellery is not only beautiful but also carries the promise of abundance.
