November Birthstone: Citrine Jewellery Pieces

Vermeer Citrine Bracelet with pearls, lapis lazuli and citrine gemstones

September 4, 2025

Embrace the warmth of November’s birthstone with radiant citrine jewellery. Each design captures the sunlit radiance of this uplifting gemstone — a meaningful gift to brighten someone’s day or a treasured keepsake to cherish for yourself.

What is the Birthstone for November?

As autumn deepens and the year drifts towards winter, November glows with the luminous light of citrine. This golden gemstone is the traditional birthstone for the month, admired for its vibrant hues and uplifting character. Topaz is also associated with November, yet it is citrine that truly captures the season’s spirit and the stone we love to celebrate in our jewellery.

Its name comes from the French word citron, meaning ‘lemon’, a nod to its sunlit shades that range from soft yellow to deep amber. Citrine reflects the richness of autumn and the warmth of sunlight, making it a perfect birthstone for November birthdays.

At Paula Bolton, we’re drawn to gemstones that tell a story, and citrine is one that radiates brightness and optimism. Its golden tones pair beautifully with our art-and nature-inspired designs, bringing light and colour into every piece. Whether chosen as a birthstone or simply for its beauty, citrine makes jewellery that feels joyful to wear and meaningful to gift.

The Radiance of Citrine: Symbolism & Meaning

Citrine is instantly recognisable for its glowing warmth, a gemstone that seems to carry sunlight within it. Its hues range from pale lemon to deep amber, each shade reflecting a different facet of the stone’s charm.

Natural citrine is relatively rare, with most gems today carefully heat-treated to bring out their vibrant tones, enhancing their natural beauty.

Throughout history, citrine has been admired for both its colour and character. The Ancient Greeks adorned their jewellery with citrine, while during the Middle Ages, it was believed to bring protection and strength. Across cultures, this luminous stone has been linked with clarity, energy and abundance.

Today, citrine is most often associated with joy, vitality and prosperity. Citrine is a gemstone that not only looks beautiful but also carries an uplifting meaning. This symbolism, paired with its radiant tones, makes citrine a thoughtful choice for birthstone jewellery and a truly special gift.

Vermeer Citrine Jewellery Collection

The Vermeer Collection is one of our most elegant collections, inspired by the quiet beauty and luminous tones of Johannes Vermeer’s paintings. His art is celebrated for its delicate use of light and refined colour palettes, qualities that lend themselves beautifully to jewellery design.

For us, citrine was the natural choice. Its golden radiance mirrors the soft glow found in Vermeer’s work, while its warmth contrasts gently with the cool blues of lapis lazuli and the soft lustre of pearl. Together, these gemstones echo the harmony and balance that Vermeer captured so effortlessly on canvas.

Each piece is handcrafted in sterling silver and 18ct gold-plate, with gemstones carefully chosen to reflect Vermeer’s mastery of tone and light. Jewellery from this collection feels enduring, elegant and full of quiet brilliance — much like the paintings that inspired it.

Caring for Your Citrine Jewellery

Citrine measures a seven on the Mohs scale of hardness, making it a durable gemstone that can be enjoyed for everyday wear. Its brilliance is best preserved with a little thoughtful care.

To keep your citrine jewellery glowing, avoid prolonged exposure to strong sunlight or harsh chemicals, and clean it gently with warm soapy water and a soft cloth. Store separately from harder stones such as sapphires or diamonds to prevent scratches.

Every Paula Bolton piece arrives in a keepsake box with a protective pouch and polishing cloth, so you can treasure your citrine jewellery for years to come.

From Vermeer’s harmonious palettes to the celestial inspiration of Jupiter, our jewellery pieces that use citrine bring energy and radiance to every design. Paired with pearls, lapis, and moonstone, the light-filled character of citrine creates jewellery that feels distinctive, meaningful, and enduring.
