November's Birthstone: Citrine
In this series I am showcasing each month’s birthstone, so you can find out all about the properties of the stone, and get ideas about how to style your birthstone jewellery to create your perfect seasonal look!
November’s birthstone, citrine, is known as the stone of abundance, and carries with it the power of the sun as it sits low and bright in the sky at this time of year.
A bright, energetic stone governing the solar plexus chakra, citrine brings joy, enthusiasm, self-esteem and confidence to the wearer, helping you let go of past negativity and enjoy new experiences. Perfect to hold off the winter blues, citrine will truly let you shine!
Although you might think citrine’s sunshine yellow is a bit out of place for November, to me it’s the perfect autumnal gemstone. Evoking the bright sunlight of a bright, crisp autumn day, or the leaves that have already fallen from the trees, citrine’s golden honey glow can be paired with any seasonal outfit.
If warm, autumnal colours are your jam this time of year, pair a citrine ring set in warm yellow gold with your outfit. This birthstone ring is delicate and unobtrusive, so you don’t have to worry if you need to pop on a pair of gloves as the evening draws in.
November is the month where our winter coats really start to come into their own, but that doesn’t mean you have to sacrifice on your jewellery. A citrine brooch fastened to the front of your cosy coat adds a pop of joyful colour, and gives you some sparkle to start the upcoming festive season!
