As the month of November approaches, we celebrate the birthstone for the month, Citrine. Derived from the French word citron (meaning lemon), citrine sparkles in shades of pale honey, golden amber and deep burnt orange. It’s a stone that seems to hold the glow of a setting sun—bright, comforting, and endlessly uplifting.

A symbol of joy, prosperity and energy

Known as the “merchant’s stone,” citrine has long been associated with prosperity and success. Ancient cultures believed it could attract wealth and protect against negative energy. Today, it's worn not just as a talisman for abundance, but as a reminder to live with intention, gratitude and joy.

Citrine is also linked to creativity and clarity, helping to dispel self-doubt and spark new ideas. Whether you're entering a new chapter, launching a passion project, or simply seeking more light in your life, citrine is the perfect companion.

Citrine in jewellery

Thanks to its versatility and warm glow, citrine pairs beautifully with both gold and silver tones. It brings a soft vibrance to minimalist styles and a golden opulence to statement pieces. At Maison de Femmes, we love citrine for its easy elegance and magical undertones—like a little drop of sunshine you can carry with you, always.

Gifting citrine

As the November birthstone, citrine makes a thoughtful and personal gift for birthdays, anniversaries or meaningful milestones. But you don’t have to be born in November to wear it—citrine’s luminous energy is for anyone drawn to its golden light.
