Individuals born in November can choose between two sunny gemstones to brighten up this chilly month. November’s birthstones, topaz and citrine, are both known for their calming energies, bringing warmth and fortune to those who wear them.
Citrine:
Citrine is one
of the most popular and affordable gemstones. It is relatively plentiful and
available in a wide range of sizes and shapes, including very large sizes.
These reasons make it a great gem for that big, bold, statement piece.
The name
Citrine, which is French for “lemon”, fits well with its color range of juicy
lemon yellow to a bright orangey brown. Most people choose a Citrine based on
their personal preference, but some of the most sought-after Citrine gemstones
have a clear, radiant yellowish to brownish red color.
Topaz:
Topaz is a
gemstone exhibiting an array of spectacular colors. The stone was believed to
be symbolic of the Egyptian Sun God Ra, with its brilliant golden glow and fiery
intensity. Owing to this quality of the Topaz, it was fashioned into several
amulets and talismans.
The topaz is
known for its associated qualities of strength, tenacity, dedication and
resilience. This November birthstone is believed to balance emotions and
thoughts for a harmonious lifestyle. The gemstone is used to enhance
spirituality, promote wisdom and cut through troubles and confusion to bestow
clear thought and reasoning prowess on the wearer of the stone. The topaz was
often used in the crowns and rings worn by rulers, diplomats, dignitaries and
royalty.
We think topaz
and citrine are a perfect fit with the Duchess’s down-to-earth elegance,
because they’re nearly as dazzling as precious gems but without the precious
price tag.
