The November Birthstones: Topaz & Citrine

The November Birthstones: Topaz & Citrine

Augustine Jewels introduces the two November birthstones: topaz & citrine. Learn more about these fascinating gemstones.

People born in November can choose between two brilliant gemstones to brighten up this chilly month. Topaz and citrine are both the birthstones for November, however, both are quite unusually different.

Citrine is a yellow variety of quartz and is a semi precious stone, with a wide colour range from lemon yellow to reddish brown. A reddish-orange colour is often referred to as a Madeira citrine. Citrine is said to radiate positive energy and is considered as a good luck charm. In ancient history, people believed the gemstone was a gift of the sun and had the power to help depression and manage anger. For women, it is said to make them fertile, happy and contented.

Topaz is a durable semi precious gemstone that is suitable for most types of jewellery. Topaz has an exceptionally wide colour range that includes various tones and saturations of blue, green, yellow, orange, brown, red, pink, and purple. The major topaz source today is Brazil. Topaz is believed to have mystical healing powers and is considered to assist in creating emotional balance and protection from greed. It also represents strength, wisdom, courage, and is a symbol of friendship. It is also the anniversary stone for the 4th and 19th years of marriage. For centuries, many people have believed that topaz worn above the heart assures long life, beauty, and intelligence. The golden and sky blue hues of citrine and topaz are incorporated into our extremely popular South of France Collection, inspired by the gorgeous scenery in Nice, along the coast as the sun is shining. Citrine is a reflection of the warm sun and yellow sand, whilst sky blue topaz expresses the soft blue sea and sky. The South of France Collection captures the beauty of the French coastline in elegant jewellery designs to be worn all year round, with sterling silver necklaces, earrings, rings and bracelets.
