When you are shopping for citrine jewelry, the most important value factor to consider is the quality of the citrine. Citrine is the yellow variety of quartz, the world's most versatile gem, and shares many characteristics with amethyst, the purple quartz gem. The more vivid and bright the golden hue, the more valuable the citrine. Cut is even more important than clarity, since a well-cut citrine will dance with light.

Because all Gemvara jewelry is made to order, we can hand-select fine-quality citrine to perfectly suit your design.

What is the meaning of citrine in the language of gems? Citrine is the gem of optimism. In ancient times, citrine was said to have the power to protect against the venom of evil words and thoughts and even defend against snakebite.

Citrine is a November birthstone and the 13th anniversary gem.

With a color that complements any metal, citrine jewelry is crafted in sterling silver, white or yellow gold and platinum. Because your citrine jewelry will catch the eye, you will want to match the color of citrine earrings or a citrine necklace closely to the color of a citrine ring.

Citrine is a very durable gem perfect for everyday wear. Clean citrine jewelry with mild dish soap: use a soft brush behind the stone where dust can collect.

Gemvara's fine quality citrine jewelry is designed to be passed down for generations to come, crafted by hand in the United States.

With a little care, your fine jewelry will keep its good looks forever. The best way to clean your jewelry is by soaking it in a bowl of warm water with a few drops of ordinary dish detergent. If needed, use a soft brush where dust and soap can collect. Then just rinse and pat dry with a soft cloth.

You won't have to clean your jewelry as often if you put it on after applying hairspray, perfume, and cosmetics. Be sure to remove your jewelry before strenuous activities like sports. Keep jewelry away from chlorine and other household chemicals. Always make sure it is dry and clean by wiping with a cloth before putting it away.

To protect the beauty of your jewelry, don't keep it in a tangle in a jewelry box. Remember, gems can scratch metal or each other. When you travel, make sure your jewelry pieces don't rub against each other in your bag. Store each piece separately or wrap each one in tissue paper or a soft cloth.
