The history and origin of citrine

Citrine is a natural gemstone and belongs to the quartz family. Its name derives from the French word ‘citron’ (lemon), which refers to its characteristic yellow colour. Citrine was already used in ancient times for jewellery and decoration and is found particularly in Brazil, Madagascar and Spain. It is a popular stone in jewellery-making and is prized for its warm, sunny colour and its transparency.

Origin and natural properties

Citrine is formed through geological processes in volcanic rock. Its yellow to orange colour is caused by the presence of iron impurities during crystallisation. The citrine druse jewellery is characterised by the fact that the stone is used in its natural, untreated form, which gives the earrings a distinctive and authentic texture. Citrine has a Mohs hardness of 7, making it resistant to scratches and highlighting its suitability for everyday wear.

Science and spiritual significance

Citrine consists mainly of silicon dioxide. Spiritually, it is said to promote positive energies, enhance joy and creativity, and offer protection against negative energy. Scientifically, however, these effects have not been proven, which is why citrine’s value lies primarily in its visual and material qualities.

Care and maintenance

The Citrine Druse earrings, 18k gold-plated, should be looked after regularly to preserve their shine and the quality of the gold plating. Clean the citrine and the gold setting with a soft cloth and avoid contact with water or chemicals to prevent damage to the gold plating and the natural surface of the druse.
