And so, they choose citrine because it fulfills all the requirements that make it a good choice for summer wear.



Citrine is a variety of quartz that has many features that make it perfect for warmer weather. It’s affordable, durable, and extremely versatile. This beautiful gemstone comes in colors ranging from lemony yellow, to brighter golden hues, as well as oranges, browns and even reds. It’s most common color, however, is yellow.  Therefore, its adaptable to a wide range of color palettes when thinking in terms of wardrobes. Yellow, which is itself a very cheerful and notable color, blends beautifully with popular and vibrant summer colors like blues, greens, and even tropical hues and patterns.

Furthermore, since citrine comes in such a wide variety of shapes and sizes, it offers many options for the different pieces of jewellery it can be used in. It can easily be made into something as delicate as a beautiful citrine tear-drop necklace, or something as bulky as a chunky citrine ring or bracelet.

It’s elegant, yet casual and so interchangeable.  Women can easily get away with wearing a beautiful citrine necklace to the office, yet continue to sport it after work at more casual events.
