Citrine: A gemstone full of joie de vivre

Citrine is a bright yellow to orange gemstone that inspires with its sunny radiance. As a variety of quartz, it is valued for its robustness (Mohs hardness 7) and versatility. Natural citrines are rare; they are often made by heating amethyst or smoky quartz.

Symbolically, the citrine stands for joie de vivre, optimism and success. It is often referred to as the "stone of happiness" and is said to promote energy and creativity.

In the jewellery world, citrine is particularly popular because of its bright colours and durability, whether in rings, pendants or bracelets. With its warm sheen, it is a perfect choice to add a sunny accent to any outfit.
